“The only clean stable is an empty stable. So if you want the work of an ox and to enjoy an abundant harvest, you’ll have a mess or two to clean up!”
This scripture made me smile this morning, because it’s a great reminder -- especially in politics and political advocacy -- really for anyone who is fighting for truth in any venue. If we want a productive, fruitful life, it will be messy sometimes and it will stink sometimes -- but we will continually have something to show for our efforts. If we want our lives to be neat and tidy, we can live in a way where we don’t have any messes to clean up, but we will get absolutely nothing for it. Let this be an encouragement to all of you out there fighting the good fight for truth and righteousness -- you will see the fruit of your labor. It may be messy, but keep going.
