Guarding our Gates: Air Circulation. A Lesson from the Garden

On our family vacation, I was blessed to watch this totally not God related video.. Love gardening as so often the lessons about the Kingdom learned here are profound.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqkpifoEUfc&t=525s

The key to fruitful tomato and squash plants is….  AIR… lots of room around the plants, especially at the base of the plant…

The parallels are profound.  In plants, many leaves and lush greenery communicates to our minds healthy.   BUT the reality is that all those leaves actually an environment that is often deadly to the plant.   Powdery mildews and blights abound in this dense canopy.  The flowers, hidden beneath the leaves, often go unpollinated which means no fruit or low fruit yields.

Overcrowded lives are very similar.   A fruitful life requires room to hear from the Lord, it requires windows of quiet, windows of time for meditation, time to study the Word so the seed of God can pollinate our hearts and lives and the fruit can follow.

Something to think about perhaps????
