Walking with the Lord is not an easy thing. We constantly
have to be on watch for what HE is doing and wants to do
but also, watching and be aware what the enemy is pulling.
He is a very sneaky being; our GOD is a very patient being
and HE never lies, what HE says HE will do, HE will do.
A Watered Garden
In the wonderful “Gospel” of Isaiah
in the testaments that were written of old
God spoke of His living water
which is more precious to Him than pure gold.
Our soul can be as a watered garden
you can see how beautiful they truly are
well kept and tenderly cared for
and as beautiful as the evening’s North Star.
As tending to a luscious garden
it can be likened to the care of one’s own soul
pulling needless cares and unforgiveness up
before they take root and over your heart gain control.
Now picture if you will a garden
that simply has been left to itself
weed after weed choking out the desired flowers and plants and the evil shoots springing up from items that you have not taken time to have dealt.
A weed of doubt and a weed of hate and a seed of fear left unattended to
will soon take over a beautifully planned garden
yes purposely planted by the devil to destroy your soul and your heart
which had once loved God and had truly been victoriously pardoned.
So now what to do where do you start to pick up the pieces
in a garden that has totally gone awry
it is not an easy overnight task but, begin by plucking out the devils weeds
but at the same time to your God lovingly draw nigh.
