Bend but does Not Break

These trees are all over the Cape Town. They Crack me up! Why are they like this! Cape Town is know for Strong North-westerly Winds, so as young trees  they bend to the wind while trying hard to grow Tall and strong. And as long as their roots are strongly Planted they never fall over when a big wind comes thru. They just are a little cattywompus. 

These trees make me think about the different times in our Christian walk we are blown over by circumstances, but as long as our roots are grounded in the word and our eyes are pointed heavenward we will grow tall! Yes, we might have kink here and there, but those kinks are the Things that God has used to shape us!
