I like to weed eat. Now, I don't necessarily like weed eating as much as I have to but I do like to weed eat. You know what I like about weed eating? You can see what you are accomplishing. You can see that you are cleaning something up. You can see that you are making things neater. You can't always see that with other things.
I have seen things that looked really good from one side but the other side was horrid. I've seen a really nice, expensive fence that was only there to hide the junk behind it. I have seen cars with really nice paint jobs that were there to try to distract you from the poor mechanical shape it was in. I know we can all put up a false front to hide what we don't want anyone else to see.
Today's word is Psalm 51:10, NIV, which reads, "Create in me a pure heart, O GOD, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Sometimes, it is necessary for GOD to do a little cleaning, removing those things that are hindering good growth. We need Him to knock down the weeds and to create a clean, pure heart. You can't grow good things until the bad weeds, those things that steal from the good, are removed. GOD is the keeper of our hearts. Then, we have to be steadfast, determined, to keep the good things going.
I don't always look forward to weed eating. I bet GOD doesn't always enjoy having to discipline His children in order to get the bad stuff out. Yet, the end results are so rewarding.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
