Tumbleweeds of Life

Tumbleweeds Of Life

This morning during breakfast and devotional I began to think how Tennessee and home (Nebraska) are so different. Every now and then in Nashville a tumbleweed will cascade across the street. However during the summer months in Nebraska, they can be seen everywhere - stuck in fences, rolling across the fields, or clumped together on the highway. Tumbleweeds can be troublesome because they tend to push over vegetation and take over. The interesting thing about tumbleweeds is that they carry 250,000 seeds. Just as they don’t all scatter in one spot, tumbleweeds don’t release all their seeds at once.

Isn’t this just like the fiery darts of the devil? They keep on growing and coming at us as Christians. The Lord knew that the tumbleweeds of the world would come rolling by in our lives as His children. Those tumbleweeds make us rely on Him more. The world doesn’t have the reliance on the Lord like Christians do when trials and tumbleweeds come.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peach, and not evil, to give you an expected end.”
