This Q was inspired by pulling out 33 year old bushes this weekend. Man do those roots grow thick and deep and it’s MASSIVE work to pulled them out…but if you don’t get it all out. It grows back. We had a good shrub removal workout today including a quick last minute Lowes run to make sure it was realistic

Hebrews 12:3-8, 12-17 ESV

“Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

Men – Quite Simply life is hard. DO NOT let a root of bitterness take hold. Stay strong and use your brothers around you to never let that root grow (So we don’t have to spend 45 mins pulling it out)

Hebrews 12:12-17 ESV

Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.”
