Crab Grass Within Your ...
Contributed by Paul Carlson on Jan 25, 2010 (message contributor)
ILLUSTRATION: Crab grass within your soul.
Crab grass if gotten early in the spring can be eliminated from your yard but if you allow it an inkling of room to grow, it will take over your yard. That is what arrogant pride will do in your soul.
Just as you need to apply grab grass preventative to your yard in early spring and uproot any crabgrass that appears, to keep it from blossoming and spreading over your entire yard, so too you must apply humble obedience to your soul daily and uproot any arrogant pride that appears, to keep it from blossoming and spreading through over your entire life.
