When I was cleaning up my garden the other day I grabbed a handful of what I thought was all plants that I did not want in a particular space. As I looked at the lot that I had pulled up I recognized a very small onion that had been hiding in the mix. I was so sad to have pulled this young plant out of the ground. The premature death for this beneficial friend that I had wanted to mature into something I could consume could have been avoided had I practiced better discernment.

I also learned how to identify the plants we wanted to thrive for our own purposes.

As humans we all are prone to the seven deadly sins. So today let’s talk about PRIDE. Our ego often replaces our need for God through our pride. GMO’s(Genetically Modified Organisms) are one such example.
One of the arguments I often hear for GMO’s is that we need them to feed the world. Interesting concept when one considers that God created a sustainable planet. Where we get it wrong is in our desire to dominate the planet rather than be the stewards that God commanded of us. Since we, in our pride, feel that we know how to grow food in a ‘better’ way than how God has given us, we have to make modifications that are more technical and scientific than faith driven.
