Yesterday we talked about how a little bit of effort on a regular basis save time later, especially when it comes to keeping weeds out of our garden. A way to apply that to our spiritual life would be to make sure we are saturating the garden of our heart with the water of the Word. If it needs a little fertilizer, why not do a word study in that certain area, so you are armed and ready with the Word of God to overcome the weed that is trying to take over your garden? We can pull up the weeds that are obstacles in our life by using our faith muscles and by speaking to mountains and watching them be removed. We can stay alert and awake, and remove the weed before it goes to seed. We can catch the little weeds early if we nip them in the bud when they are tiny. You probably have found, like I have, that if you let the weeds reproduce, the result from scattered weed seed is only multiplied problems.
As I try to daily maintain my garden during the growing season, I also try to daily nourish and replenish my spirit, every season. God wants us to read his love letter to us everyday. Why not make a date to read the Word of God daily? He loves to communicate with us on a regular basis. Why not tell Him of your love for Him through prayer? He loves meeting us at church, but He likes us enough to want to be around us daily. Why not make time for Him to be your priority each day? We can get our spiritual life into shape! Let’s Work It Out, grow up in God, and live weed free.
