Planting season.

I have great respect for the farmers. Day in and day out, they rise early, work in the hot sun until the evening approaches, and get up the next day and do it all over again.

After they plant their seeds each year, they wait. They are expecting to see the crop come to life and thrive. Once in the ground, the seed starts growing, but the farmer can’t actually see it growing. The farmer has faith that his crop will start to grow. The farmer plants by faith, not by feeling.

If the farmer relied on his feelings for the seeds to start growing, he might get too anxious or worried that it’s not coming up soon enough.

As a Christian, we should be following in the footsteps of the farmer.

But, our seeds that we sow aren’t tiny seeds that are planted in the ground, but seeds of hope to the lost.

Once we tell someone the good news of Jesus, we let go and have faith that God will take over.

We may never see the crop that we sow, but we can have faith that the seed was sowed, and God can bring the seeds to life.

2 Corinthians 9:6 - “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”
