Weed & Feed

Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43
Weeds pop up. It's the nature of weeds. It's what they do! They don't wait for a convenient time or place, they just pop up at the most inopportune times.

Matthew 13 tells us that in the seasons of life there are also weeds that pop up and the source of those weeds is our enemy, the devil. His agenda is clear (John 10:10); it's to steal, kill, and destroy every good thing in our lives. He does that by planting weeds of problems, frustrations, lies, etc in our lives on a daily basis. If we are to overcome, and we can, we must weed & feed. Uproot the weeds the enemy is placing in our lives. But it's also time to feed our souls and grow closer to God through his Word and by talking to him in prayer.

How often should we weed? DAILY! In our flower beds we'll wait several weeks before weeding, but that's not how we should approach it in life. Don't let the devils lies & tricks grow in your life for weeks before dealing with them; pull the weeds daily. Start your day by taking 2 or 3 minutes to ask God for his help today and then give warning to your enemy that you aren't putting up with his junk today. Then end the day by looking at your day and inspecting for weeds that may have sprouted up (anger, lust, envy, bitterness, frustration, depression, etc.). Then pull those weeds.

Make today the start of regular weed pulling in your life. I promise, you will notices a difference.
