Consider these two verses that were written well over 3000 years ago:
Genesis 1:12 “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding…after his kind: and God saw that it was good”.
Genesis 8:22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest…”.
It may be a person putting one seed in a potting soil container, or it could be a farmer planting multiple acres of a crop. Both depend upon the truth of God’s Word as found in those two verses. Believer, or non-believer, both trust God’s Word to be true. Everything else being normal, planting seeds leads to harvest. The harvest is always governed by the type of seed planted. Plant corn, harvest corn. Plant cotton, harvest, cotton. It always works that way. Planting is an act of faith. Those who plant, trust God to be true.
Our God is a God of order. Sunrises and sunsets can be calculated to the exact minute. High and Low tides can also be calculated. The sun always rises in the east. You get the picture. Truly, He is an awesome God!!!
Today, I encourage you to hunger for God’s Word. Listen to it being taught and preached often. Study it regularly. Trust it completely. Act upon what it instructs you to do. Then you will reap the wonderful benefits promised to you by the Lord. AMEN
