SCENES ARE US-THE MINISTRY OF SEED PLANTING #1127/ EMBRACING THE FATHERS HEART WITH DR. GEORGE WATKINS

SEEDS ARE US-THE MINISTRY OF SEED PLANTING

 

My grandpa and grandma Erickson homesteaded 600 acres of farmland in Montana around 1900. The stories that I remember them telling us about those days are both thrilling and agonizing. The labor and uncertainty of life that they endured to make a farm life possible is beyond our comprehension. Our society today cannot grasp the amount of effort that it took to build our nation and its people. 

Around 1925 my grandparents were forced to sell their farm and move south, ending up in California. They were forced out of their farm life because of the power of early cold winters killing the seed before it could be brought to harvest.

As kingdom people serving our Lord, you and I are also seed planters and tillers of the soil. And by the miracle of God living in us, we are also planted seeds in the ground. 

Because his grand plan orchestrates our life, we have been selected to be planted in fields of his choosing; until we realize that "the steps of a good person are ordered of the lord," we can become frustrated by the place or the condition that we are in at the moment. Some of that is geographical. "Why are we in this city, Lord? While another frustration is our spiritual growth and wondering why it is so slow.

Both of these frustrating and confusing questions can be settled by realizing we are seeds in the hand of God, planted at his discretion. Be careful not to judge each day of your journey as the end of your journey. If you sit on the edge of your bed every night wondering if you were a success today, you will go to bed discouraged most nights.

However, if you understand the seasons of your life and what it takes to mature the seed that you are, you will enjoy the journey.

Remember our heroes of Hebrews 11 that most of them died before realizing the completion of their ministry. But they died in faith knowing that we would complete their journey and their purpose in our journey.
