For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.
Thought:
I love this time of year with new gardens beginning to grow and they look so wonderful. We anticipate all the good drop we will harvest from it. But yet no matter how much work we put into it, with watering, feeding, weeding. How the garden does is up to God. The seeds could be duds and not produce any crop at all. Or they could sprout up and harvest a prize winning crop. While the seeds lie there in the ground, they are preparing to do just what they were created to do. Unlike us, we were created to be a harvest as well, but we messed that up in the garden of Eden. All we needed to do was love God and we would grow into a prize winning harvest for Him. But, we had to go and use our free will and make a decision that forever kept us from being just what God wanted us to be. He just wanted us to lay in the ground and do his command and grow up to be His harvest. So glad that God gave us the example of the seed to use as a way that we are to live life. Look at all the stories and parables that are used in the bible using seeds as examples. The mustard seed, the sewer's seeds, are two of the most famous ones that we know. How do those stories compare to how we are to live life?
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, from the seed you will harvest the crop of humans that grow and do your work. May we all be a beautiful harvest. Amen.
