Fighting to watch out!

"Make sure no one gets left out of God's generosity.  
Keep a sharp eye out for weeds of bitter discontent.  
A thistle or two gone to seed can ruin a whole garden in no time.  
Watch out for . . . trading away God's lifelong gift 
in order to satisfy a short-term appetite.

Hebrews 12:15, 16 MSG

This was today's verse on my flip calendar this morning.  And it has been a battle all day long to watch out for weeds of bitter discontent in my heart; to see His generosity in and around me and make sure that those around me don't miss out on it; to guard against trading His lifelong gift to satisfy a short term appetite.  

The day draws to it's end and I haven't arrived.  But His Word to my heart was so timely today and He faithfully kept reminding me of it!
