"Just a Word!"
Deuteronomy 8:7 "For the
Lord your God is bringing you
into a good land."
God promised
the children of Israel He would
bring them into a new land, but
the land was not all lush
valleys. The settlers also had
hills to contend with and rocky
fields to till. They had to plow
across inclines and deal with
soil erosion when the rains
came. They had to remove many
rocks from their land before
they could sow seed. Life in the
Promised Land had many ups and
downs.
Circumstances
are part of God's process that
brings us into His Promised
Land. We are all going to
experience both good times and
bad.
Expect
opposition, for it will surely
come. Any farmer knows that
after he plants his crop, the
birds will be after his seed,
the rabbits will be after the
tender young leaves, and both
will be after the fruit of the
vine.
Keep your
mind renewed in what God has to
say about your seed, and nothing
will be able to threaten your
harvest, not people, not
opinions, not fear, not greed,
nor doubt. God says when we sow
in faith, He will stand on the
edge of our land and rebuke the
devourer for our sakes. Sow
abundantly, and trust God for
your harvest.
Let's
Pray: "Lord, I will sow
Your Word regardless of the
difficulties or trials. Teach me
to sow faithfully and trust You
for the harvest. Amen!"
