Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Matthew 13:7
Many of you may have visited a ghost town where neglect and inactivity caused things to fall apart or be overgrown. If you neglect your flowers or vegetable gardens they too can become quite a wreck. Your yard has to be kept mowed or it too becomes a weedy mess.
In your spiritual life this overgrowth of problems and issues will choke the word so it is of little effect in your life. Weeds are like Satanic attacks pushing you away from Jesus and getting you clogged up with worldliness.
You need to prune the garbage from your life even if it hurts. When you know something is keeping you away from God then reevaluate just how important it is. You will either flourish or stagnate for the kingdom. The in between is where the weeds are making all else barely recognizable. Where are you today?
PRAYER: I yank up the weeds in my life when I get rid of things keeping me away from the Lord. I nip in the bud bad habits, lies, laziness, and all else that would seek to destroy my spiritual fruit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
