I've been making and canning apple sauce and apple pie (yum!) Enjoying the fall season. Many wormy apples that were given to me. Well rather I picked them up, but they were given nevertheless. I was peeling and slicing more apples today. Sorting through my bag of apples that are left scrounging up for an apple pie for desert tonight.
This apple was very firm, not bruised or overripe feeling or like it was rotting from worms... I didn't even notice a worm hole - but as soon as I sliced into it after peeling it (no evidence there either) I discovered that it was quite riddled by a little worm. :( I couldn't even salvage a slice!
It got me to thinking about white washed tombs as Jesus talked about. Sometimes what looks perfect on the outside, doesn't mean that the inside is all clean, or isn't riddled with worm trails.
Are you whole or worm ridden? Sin eats away at us like the worm, and while we can maintain a facade of being "good" on the outside for a while, it won't hold up. And when the rubber meets the road, or the knife cuts to the heart - how good you look doesn't matter.
This is rather short - I have a pie to finish making. I hope to be blogging more.
Eyes of Faith A Prayer by thekingdomcomes
Father, I can't keep going on
I need You to give me strength cause I have none.
I don't have faith as a mustard seed
To see past this mountain in front of me.
Give me eyes to see that this mountain
Is not even a mole hill in Your eyes and plans.
Give me eyes of faith to walk,
And ears to hear You talk.
Give me faith to trust You now
Give me strength to journey on.
