I’ve been at the gym 5 days this week. It’s been easy some days and harder other days.
Isn’t that true about our struggles. Some days i feel like an overcomer and some days and some days i feel like complete pond scum.
You know what I’ve found makes me more of an overcomer? When i invite God to join my days. In what i listen to what i watch and what i read.
I was in bible study yesterday and we read Col 3
“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”
Colossians 3:5-15 ESV
I was thinking about what goes in my head and heart grows there. If I want love joy peace patience goodness kindness faithfulness gentleness and self control then those are the seeds i need to plant in my heart.
A farmer doesn’t plant corn and expect strawberries 🍓 to grow right?
Just like a farmer doesn’t plant a seed and expect the very next day there will be fruit 🍉 it takes time. He or she does their part and prays and counts on God to do His part.
That’s where i am. Planting seeds watering nourishment. I know the results will be better than i can even imagine (Eph 3:20-21)
It’s a journey of a lifetime, each day a faithful step towards Him!
