Weeds

     Those pesky weeds in our lives are tough to overcome. Some have been around pretty much our entire lives. Others have crept in unannounced and bring discouragement. Others are so hidden we may not even know they are within us causing damage to our souls.

     When you face discouragement and doubt read Scripture on hope and faith. If you have a habit to break, read about God’s power and strength to walk with you every minute. If there are bitter roots stuck from childhood, read Scripture on God’s love, His unconditional love. He will never let us go and His love can conquer and overcome.

     Here is a great resource for you. I use it almost every day:

blueletterbible.com. You can pick any version of the Bible, put in any book or verse and/or any subject or word you might be interested in looking up. It is an invaluable resource. The power of God’s Word cannot be overstated. The truth of it has withstood the test of time. The Bible is a living, breathing testimonial to the Creator and Author and Finisher of time. Trust in its truth. Memorize some verses and let’s pull out, kill and destroy, or slowly overpower our weeds.

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Dear Jesus,

Your Word gives us hope when we are lost, compassion when we grieve, truth when we doubt, faith when we have no answers, trust when we have been let down. You provide everything we need.

Amen
