Planting season

There are so-called gardening maps for the U.S., showing specific zones and when the best times of the year to plan certain vegetables or flowers.

Once you plant most things, you have to routinely water the plants so that they will grow. After a few weeks of nourishing the plants with water and sunshine, the plants begin to take root and blossom and grow.

So it is with God. Once you give your life to God and begin to read His word, and follow His lead, your life will begin to blossom, to take root. This deep rooted knowledge will stand all the forces against you when times get tough.

Psalm 1:1-3 - “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.”

Sowing God’s word will grow us strong and keep us standing during adversity.

Every day of your life is an opportunity to start planting seeds. Once your roots are established, you can start sharing your harvest with others around you.

The harvest is ripe, my friends. Don’t miss God’s plans for you. Seek Him out whatever season of life you find yourself in and being your planting season.
