He that walketh uprightly walketh surely: but he that perverteth his ways shall be known.
~Proverbs 10:9
Spider Mites
I use to have the window in my room at the training center bursting with plants. My favorites were blue morning glories that climbed up the sides of my window. Everything looked wonderful for months. Then, almost overnight my morning glories developed yellow spots and started to wilt. So did several of my other plants. Upon closer investigation I discovered that I had the dreaded beasties, spider mites. They must have been developing strength for quite some time, right under my nose.
As I pondered my new little roommates, the Lord reminded me of the "little sins" I had been harboring in my life. They didn't seem that important and they were easily hidden but their effects could be seen and eventually they would be exposed.
