Stubborn Weeds!

It has rained very little over the past two weeks. I went to pull weeds from my much neglected flower beds when I realized I had stubborn weeds. It made me think how easily they were pulled up after a rainy season.

I thought about the rainy seasons in life, when we cling to God and let Him pull the things out of our lives so we can have a closer relationship with Him. When we walk through valleys of dark clouds, we seem to learn so much and grow in our spiritual walk. But, when the sun comes out, we may go back and hold onto old habits that may not be prosperous to our relationship with God. The weeds of our life may not be removed as easily as before.

“For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.”  Hebrews 10:36  NKJV

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry…”  I Samuel 15:23  NKJV
