If you take the short drive up into the nearby Sequoia National Forest you can visit the majestic giant sequoias. These trees are among the largest living things on the planet. They are the tallest trees in the world. Some of them are three hundred feet tall and over 2500 years old. These massive trees have survived incredibly harsh conditions over the centuries. Think of all of the severe winds and treacherous storms these trees have weathered. How can they still be standing? The secret to not only their survival but their ability to thrive under duress is found in their root system. Their root system is actually interlocked. They are all tied in with each other. And in that root system they support and sustain each other. These amazing trees were actually designed by their creator to need one another. That’s how God created us as well!
