I had a pruning experience last week that was very illustrative. I was actually pruning back our bushes and overgrowth with some very basic pruning shears. I started off nipping the smaller branches and working down to the roots (of the bushes that were aliens). That was taking a long time and leaving a lot to clean up. I wised up, got down on my knees, crawled in the bush, found the root, and cut it. Amazingly, the whole thing was done in an instant, and it was much easier to drag the bush in toto to the street than all the pieces littering the driveway. All that is to say I realizes when pruning spiritually, hurry up and get to the root!!!
I don't know how this fits into the illustration, but our nephew was pruning the bushes at my old house yesterday. He had a gas powered trimmer. Wow! That's even faster. I'm sure there's something to having the right tools spiritually as well.
