20 And the one sown on rocky ground—this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. 21 But he has no root and is short-lived. When distress or persecution comes because of the word, immediately he falls away. (Matthew 13:20-21 CSB)

We use the term “Faith” to most often refer to something religious in nature or something we must trust in. Trusting without seeing.

But faith is an interesting thing. Sometimes our faith is strong and at other times the simplist thing can rock it deeply.

It is only when, in a religious sense, we stand firm and allow the roots of faith to grow deep within us that we can stand the test of life. Not falling away even when the trials are deep and seem to go on for a long time.

Deeply seated faith is best born lightly but never shallowly.
