April 2 Devotional

Dear Friends,
I’m an expert at growing weeds!  I have the unique distinction of having the worse lawn on my street.  I’ve tried numerous products, but my healthy weeds seem to feed on the weed and feed, seeming to laugh at my futile attempts.  The best year I had was when I planted more grass after “weeding” the yard.  Only problem with that is that it takes a LOT of water to get the grass growing.  Frugal Ferrell protests due to cost and stewardship of the precious, life giving water.  But, regardless, the best way to get rid of weeds is to simply pull them up by the roots and plant the seeds you wish to grow.  Sounds simple enough!  Christ is the Gardener of our soul.  The more we rid ourselves of weeds, the easier it is for the good stuff to grow.  Read on and be blessed!

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 these 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 send 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.

Philippians 4:19
 19And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:17 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
