Today the lady who helps in our house came running in to the living room. "Pastor" she asked; Did you see the report on TV yesterday about the "white Monsters"? Since I worked late yesterday I denied and she went on to tell me about the plaque of white huge worm type bugs covered with hair. If you picked them up you will get burned. But to make the horror story complete she told me that the "monsters" are in our mango tree. Come and look she said with big scary eyes. And indeed when I went to the mango tree there they were; Eating away the leaves on the tree and I finally understood why a couple of months a go we had so much young fruit growing in the tree and now it was all gone.
When I thought about it for a while I was reminded of how it often goes in our personal life. To bear fruit we need to stay close to Our Heavenly Father and walk in His ways. Often "White Monsters" show up and if we let them they take our focus away from God and we stop producing fruits .My prayer for today is that I would be aware of those "White hairy Monsters" in my life and that I would have the courage to deal with them and get rid of them.
