What are You Planting?

If you plant a tomato seed, what will you get? If you plant corn, what will you reap? If you plant green beans, what will you harvest? The answers are simple. Whether you have a green thumb or not, you understand the laws of nature. You reap what you sow!

I don't know about you but it's easy to get side-tracked by the events of life, swept away by the demands of every day living. During various seasons, and boy has it been a season as of late, I battle the voices of fear and insecurity.

Serving God and resting in His provision demands our intentionality! If we aren't intentional, we'll plant unintentional seeds of doubt and fear. We must be intentional to rest in Him...intentional to seek Him...intentional to not cower to fear or shrink to insecurities. Intentional to plant our seeds of trust and faith in HIM! Planting His truths in our heart. Watering our minds with the promises of His Word...

Romans 8:31-32 says, "What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all — how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" NIV

We have a choice...

Will we trust God and believe Him at His Word and rest in His Character?
Or, will we retreat, shrink back, and cower to the lies of "you can't do that", "you're no good", "you're going to fail miserably."

Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works , which God prepared in advance for us to do." NIV

God has a work for you. He's designed you for it especially. You are His workmanship, created and destined for good works.

Keep planting good seed, keep doing the right things, keep working toward the goal God has given you...

"...for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Gal 6:9-10NIV)

So, ask yourself today...What seeds are you planting?

PRAYER: Father, fill us with expectancy. Take every thought that is not from You and destroy it. Help us to align our thinking with Yours. We need You desperately to provide for us, to fill us, and to remove all fear. In Jesus name, amen.
