I was listening to the radio the other day and the commentator shared how annoyed she was that leaves were already dropping from the trees. She was annoyed enough to find the answer. The premature falling of leaves was due to the wet summer which had allowed fungus to grow, adversely affecting the leaves. The condition of the soil matters to the trees, to the leaves, and to the rhythm of fall.
The same things can happen in our lives as well. When we focus too much on hardship and not enough on the “Son” we too can allow a fungus to take control of our lives. The condition of our heart matters to our roots, to our fruit, and to the rhythms of our lives.
September is one of those months that seems to reset the rhythms of our lives. I pray you recommit to allowing more “Son” into your life. Come to church more, fellowship often, recommit to Bible reading, pray continually, and renew your heart condition. Allow God to direct your steps as we all move from one season to the next.
Blessings,
