My wellington boot

My wellington boot

The wellington boot has over the years proven to be a protective shield to its users whether on the farm or an engineering site. Only God knows the number of accidents that have been prevented because of the help of the wellington boot

.One of the businesses I tried my hands on a few years ago was the piggery business. I remember taking some young folks to a particular farm to harvest some cassava that I had purchased for my pigs.

On the first visit, I realized that my movement was slow and too cautious. The uneven landscape coupled with the slippery ground made matters worse for me. It was when we came back that it dawned on me that I was not wearing the appropriate footwear.

So, the next time we went for another harvest, I had my wellington boot on. As we approached the farm, my confidence increased, and I was walking with much speed. Insects, rodents, or reptiles were not of any concern to me as compared to the first trip.

When I came back from the farm and removed the boot, I observed that my feet were very clean and without any harm.

As I thought about this, it dawned on me that everybody needs a ‘Wellington boot’. Not the one for the farm but for life. Just as we have wellington boots for our work, we need a kind of ‘Wellington boot’ as we navigate the ‘farm of life’.

The Bible says, guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life (Prov4:23).

Guarding your heart is guarding your life. A puncher of the heart is a puncher of life itself. The breakages and damages of life can be so severe on us but we need the mercies of God so that our heart is not affected.

Let not anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, or lust perforate your heart. These are the ‘inserts’ and ‘termites’ that  bite our heart if we live it unguarded

As we abide by the word of God, we are shielded from the arrows of this challenging world. The truth of the matter is that the arrows will surely be shot at us but like my wellington boot shielded me, we constantly needed God’s word as a protective device for our safety.

Remember also that the word of God is a lamp unto our feet and light to our path. Always put on your ‘wellington boot’ before you go to the ‘farm of life’. Therein lies our safety, speed, and success.

For the love of God, society, and young people
