The Beauty of Fall
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.—Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)

Spiritual Weeding
Some fell in the weeds; as it came up, it was strangled among the weeds and nothing came of it. Some fell on good earth and came up with a flourish, producing a harvest exceeding his wildest dreams.—Mark 4:7-8 (MSG)
This time of year as flowers bloom and vegetable gardens burst with bounty, it’s a good time to reflect on your spiritual life. Has anything crept into your life—material want, or an unhealthy habit—that needs weeding out? It’s important to nurture your relationship with God by taking out anything that separates you from Him.
Lord, help me weed out anything that is keeping me from
blooming and flourishing the way that You intend.
