But I recently read Proverbs 14:4 and love it.
Where there are no oxen the stall is clean,Sometimes the only way to proceed is to let things get messy. With spiritual progress, that's often true.
But a multitude of production is in the strength of the ox.
After all, it's the productive vine-branches that get pruned. The last time God tried to prune you, did you take it as a compliment? Did you consider what change in habits or thoughts or mindsets should be a consequence of accepting the pruning? Were you grateful?
