A tumbleweed is a structural part of the above-ground anatomy of a number of species of plants, a diaspore that, once it is mature and dry, detaches from its root or stem, and rollsdue to the force of the wind. In most such species, the tumbleweed is in effect the entire plant apart from the root system, but in other plants, a hollow fruit or an inflorescence might serve the function.[1] Tumbleweed species occur most commonly in steppe and aridecosystems, where frequent wind and the open environment permit rolling without prohibitive obstruction.[2]
Stand firm in the Faith! As a tumbleweed matures it detaches and goes as the wind blows. We tend to do the same but the world is are wind beneath our feet to which we follow after. Realizing it sooner than later we tend to be drifted to what society says and does beyond what we are called or ultimately satisfied with. The longing in which we have within will be satisfied shortly with the wind of the world while our soul is ultimately dissatisfied, longing for a deeper and genuine relationship with Christ.
“He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.”
Psalms 112:7
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
1 Peter 5:8-11
