In Sunday's sermon, Pastor Benji reflected on the idea of being grounded (Ephesians 3:17): that is, the Christian who has made Jesus their foundation will not be easily swayed by the storms and trials of life.
Being "established" is a proof of our faith in Christ: as the old hymn says, "on Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand" (Edward Mote). And, according to Ephesians, that grounding is in love.
Christ Himself is our example: He has loved us, and He continues to love us. In patience He woos us, longing for us to obey Him- an obedience given not out of obligation, but out of love. When we have the assurance of His love, we are able to stand without shifting.
Today, let's consider Pastor Benji's question: When circumstances turn for the worse, do you remain grounded in the love of Christ, or do you shift?
