Have you been looking for the silver bullets in your life this week? Mine came at me in the form of…droopy plants.
Upon returning from an out of town trip, I neglected our backyard for a couple of days. I knew it had stormed while we were gone, so I didn’t really worry about the plants needing water immediately. I was wrong. Wow, what a mess it was when I ventured back there today. Dirt, leaves, and pine needles lined the bottom of the pool and the pool deck. The plants were wilting and beginning to dry out. They were surviving but definitely not flourishing. Tonight, after a little time, work, and water they are beginning to perk back up.
Similarly, our souls can begin to wilt and dry up after just a short time of neglect. Fortunately with a little TLC we can bring it back up to par. Sure we can survive and get by with minimal attention, but if we want to flourish we have to treat our spiritual lives with intentional, deliberate care. How is your soul today? Take the time to water it with prayer, study and worship!
