I don’t know
about you, but I’ve got weeds in my garden. I’ve got a bunch of them in the one
outside where they are growing stronger every day with the mixture of sunshine
and rain that we are having. In fact, there are more areas than not that you
might think it is a weed garden. And my stamina to deal with them is not that
great.
But I also
have weeds in the garden of my heart, and for me the biggest weed is worry.
When I stop my heart from raging and look to the truth I realize that the cure
for the weeds has already been applied to my life. I am a child of God and not
of the evil one. The master of weeds is no longer master over my life, and as
such I have been given the power to deal with those weeds in the power of
Christ as I see them sticking up their ugly heads. No, God has not removed all
of the weeds from my garden. He certainly could, but He chose to give me the
supernatural spiritual ability to pull them. So when a weed of worry pops up, I
can stop and say, “Wait a minute. That weed doesn’t belong there. My God has me
securely in His hand and He will take care of my every need. He will give me
the ability to endure even the fastest growing Spring.”
Today in
“Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young (4/2)
I have
promised to meet all your needs according to My glorious riches. Your deepest,
most constant need is for My Peace. I have planted Peace in the garden of your
heart, where I live; but there are weeds growing there too: pride, worry,
selfishness, unbelief. I am the Gardener, and I am working to rid your heart of
those weeds. I do My work in various ways. When you sit quietly with Me, I
shine the Light of My Presence directly into your heart. In this heavenly Light,
Peace grows abundantly and weeds shrivel up. I also sent trials into your life.
When you trust Me in the midst of trouble, Peace flourishes and weeds die away.
Thank Me for troublesome situations, the Peace they can produce far outweighs
the trials you endure.
And my God
will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
