Eradicate the bad seeds !

"What a man has sown, he will also reap." Galatians 6.7

When England took possession of Australia in 1770, many animal and vegetable species were unknown there. A Scottish emigrant, longing for the moors of his country, brought a handful of seeds of thistles, a symbolic flower of Scotland, and sowed them in a corner of his garden. A few decades later, scattered by the wind, the weed had invaded this vast continent.

"The heart of man is a fertile ground in which a seed of disobedience to God can germinate easily."

We also know how, between 1952 and 1960, the myxomatosis virus, intentionally inoculated with some rabbits in France, contaminated all Europe.

The seed of sin, introduced into the world by Satan, seems insignificant. It is only a simple disobedience of the first man. But the consequences of this fault were dramatic for the human race: crimes, immorality, misery, suffering, death... !

The heart of man is a fertile ground in which a seed of disobedience to God can sprout easily. Let us be vigilant, let us prevent him from coming into us, to push and to invade us.

A reflection for today

To let one consciously take root and develop in one's mind an impure thought, a resentment, of lust ... it is one day to be exposed to no longer being master of it... "Then lust, when it conceived give birth to sin, and sin, being consumed, brings about death." James 1.15. Let us not let any seed of this kind invade us.

Jean-Louis Gaillard
