The garden of the soul is where the flowers of godliness grow—and flourish they did.
King David had made a gradual ascent to the heights of power and prestige. Though he slew Goliath early in his career, it was God who consolidated power around David and placed him upon a throne able to withstand the storms of life. Blossoms of goodness overran the psalmist’s life.
Yet weeds have a way of overtaking the heart. One decision—one weed—took root in David’s soul and affected his family for generations. Whereas giants could not slay David, inner passions did. Whereas Saul could not kill him, sensuality won.
Though David was rooted in God’s blessings and was surrounded by God’s glory, the weeds he allowed to grow diminished the fruitfulness of God’s goodness in his life.
