July was a very dry month for us and most of our lawns were having trouble staying green. Near the end of the month I noticed one of those trucks from a chemical lawn company parked in a neighbor’s driveway. The serviceman was walking back and forth spraying the dry brown grass. I didn’t think that yard looked any better than any of the others on the block. Then it hit me: there were no weeds. Every other lawn had a weed or two growing to unusual heights due to the lack of mowing. Not this lawn; it was being treated.
As soon as we got some frequent rains that yard turned a glorious green. All her blades of grass stood up in uniform rows, each as perfect as the one beside it. Sometimes we go through dry season in life; it seems like nothing is growing. If you can keep the weeds of sin, discouragement, bitterness, & worry out then your hard work & sacrifice will suddenly be evident when the rains return. Get smart: keep living according to God’s Word & the harvest will come.
