Choked by weeds
Did you know that weeds growing with succulents can take over and destroy the entire plant? Weeds need to be removed early to ensure survival of the plant. The wild roots, interwoven with the shallow roots, absorb all the nutrients and stunt the growth of the plant.
In our spiritual garden, we can be choked by the distractions and temptations of the world we live in. If you are complaining about the busyness of life with too many work commitments, family, and social media, the choice is always yours to keep your priorities right and to set boundaries. Every time you say yes to something, you are saying no to something else. Unless we discipline our minds, our mouths, and our emotions, we cannot enjoy or appreciate the blessed life that we already have. We must learn to say NO to temptations that affect us, and stay focussed on what God wants us to have. Put God first, and as you acknowledge that God is always with you, He will show you a direct path that will lead you to peace. When weariness attacks, stir up courage, muster up the strength, and rise against it with the truth of God's word. He wants us to enjoy His will, be satisfied and at peace, as we fulfill His call on our life.
