“Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.” - Job 31:40
You may not have heard of the cockle. It is only mentioned once in the Word of God. It is not a very large plant; it only grows to approximately eighteen inches high. The cockle is also known as the stench plant. When the cockle is crushed, it puts off a rank odor. It taints the milk and the meat of grazing animals. The cockle is a lot like bitterness. It causes a big stink and defiles many. Do not let bitterness destroy you; and do not be like the cockle plant, causing a stink wherever you go.
