Dandelion Explosions
I have a dandelion picture that I took and captioned, “scatter kindness.” It reminds me that I can scatter kindness into the world with the most gentle breath of life. This verse today reminds me that lies and attacks spread just as quickly for people who want to undermine the Church. That is the context of this verse. Paul has been attacked, but this attack aims to undermine the Gospel for the Believers in Corinth. Paul recognizes this as spiritual warfare, and He is charging into battle. He understands that this battle will be fought in the hearts, souls, and minds of the Believers in Corinth. His weapon is the Truth. This battle still rages on, and in our world, it is fought with lightning speed. A virtual dandelion explosion at every turn! These lies are subtle and delicate, but they are hard to eradicate once they take root.
For this reason, it is imperative to stay connected with the Truth—the Truth of God’s word, the Truth of His love, the Truth of the Gospel, and the Truth of the Spirit that dwells within! These are our weapons. This is our VICTORY! Think of it as a little spiritual Round Up!
God is GOOD ~ ALL the time!
