A farmer who sowed good seeds finds his field has been infiltrated with weeds from the enemy. When asked about ridding the good field of weeds the farmer says, “Let them grow together until harvest or the wheat will be damaged.” (Matthew 13)
As a novice gardener I have noticed that young plants and weeds can look alike. It’s as though the weed finds a likeness to its own and settles in there. It is still a weed, although, in immaturity it looks similar to the basil sprouting next to it. Just a few weeks in and I spot the difference. I yank that infiltrator out of the ground.
Praying for insight to recognize the weeds among the wheat. I don’t want to be influenced by the weeds among us.
God will do the yanking!
