As we begin tonight, let’s just say for the sake of argument that you’ve got quite the “green thumb”. You know what makes your garden grow, so to speak. It’s common knowledge to you that there are certain factors that need to be in place to make this happen - good soil, quality fertilizer, proper exposure to sunlight, etc. These are necessities if your garden is going to thrive.
In a spiritual sense, this is also true. Certain factors, when in place in our lives, can enable us to thrive spiritually. We know that when we read our Bibles, pray, and worship, we can be assured of growth. Additionally, when we connect with other believers, who long to know Christ in greater ways, we can be confident of continued progress.
We’re going to take another look at King Joash tonight. While this king started off with such promise, the decisions he made in terms of the people he connected and consulted with as time went on unfortunately caused his potentially blessed legacy to crumble beneath him. So, just like our garden needs the right things to thrive and not crumble, let’s be reminded that the same is true in our spiritual lives.
