Psalm 10: Keep your garden clean


Ps 10:4
"In his pride the wicked does not seek Him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God."

Those who turn to evil become so consumed with it, so saturated & full, that it drives out any God-awareness. There's just no room left for God.
It's like a garden overgrown with weeds - in the end it'll strangle the life out of anything other than itself. It kills the living plants and infests it's new dwelling.

If I am to make room (and keep room) for God in my life, I've got to 'clean the garden" of my heart on a regular basis, getting rid of any weeds trying to get a foothold there. Weeds of sin and worldliness.

Lord, help me to have a heart full of your Word and your Presence.
