Just as deceptive weeds can creep into a healthy garden, pride often sneaks into our hearts, growing unnoticed among our accomplishments and even our service to God. Annie Yorty uses a vivid gardening metaphor to help us recognize how pride takes root and how we can humbly invite God to weed it out. Through reflection, Scripture, and prayer, we’re reminded to give glory to the true source of all our gifts: God alone.
Themes Explored:
The subtle danger of pride
Recognizing the difference between self-glory and God-glory
Daily humility as spiritual “weed control”
Confession and dependence on God for heart inspection
Living for God’s glory over our own
