Lessons From The Garden
A little over 7 years ago we moved to a different acreage and started a garden. The plant in the picture grew near one of our tomato cages and produced beautiful flowers.
Life got a little busy and I didn’t get out as often to handle the cultivating and weeding. When I did return this plant had literally taken over. Almost all of my tomato cages (close to 100) were covered.
I spent hours removing what I originally thought was a beautiful flower. Instead, I was a fast growing weed, that stole my time and choked out what some of the fruit from my garden.
What a great comparison to sin in our lives. Sin presents as a flower when in reality, it is a weed that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy you and the work of your hands.
The best approach is to pull these “weeds” when they are early and small to limit spread and damage. It has been 7 years and each year I see the plant less and less, but I still see it.
It still tries to make a come back, not unlike the sin in our life. It is relentless on this side of life.
We must stand firm and fix our eyes on Christ and walk in the work that has been prepared for us, not letting sin take deep root.
