Seed to the Sower
POEM OF THE MONTH
Faith Seeds
Being faithful in the small things
Will make you faithful over much
The dreams for your bright future
Will be close enough to touch
For everyday you touch them
As you live for Me
The beginnings of the redwood trees
Start with little seeds
You shall be tall and fruitful
As in faithfulness you grow
As your roots drink from the river
Where the Holy Spirit flows
You shall have your heart’s desire
As you trust in Me
I am currently preparing
Things that will one day be
You will be all I have said
You will live in peace
You will teach My people
How the Christian life shall be
Now your job is just to learn
And to live the life of love
As you embrace new life events
You’ll continue as you’ve done
Stay faithful in the small things
Make priorities a key
Living will be joyous
When you live for Me

5 As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother's womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.
6 Sow your seed in the morning,
and at evening let not your hands be idle,
for you do not know which will succeed,
whether this or that,
or whether both will do equally well
Ecclesiastes 11:5-6
***********************************************************
Its hurricane season once again on the Texas coast. I know
so many people that will stay glued to the T.V. when
they hear about a tropical storm out in the ocean waters.
They sit idle and won’t go out much or do much of anything
but talk about the storm to come. They waste so much time
waiting for something that may never come. The scripture
so aptly explains that, we don’t know the way of the wind.
Unless of course we are in the path and must evacuate, we
should continue our work and not let distractions pull us
away or make us idle.
Indecision and perfectionism can often be crippling
factors as well. I see that verse six tells us that we
should sow the seed that is in our hands. I will sometimes
stand in the field with a handful of proverbial seeds
wondering which one I should take the time to plant.
God says that He gives seed to the sower. If you have
seeds in your hand, you need to sow them. Don’t worry
about which one will produce and which will not.
He’s big enough to take care of our harvest. Look around
He’s done a good job on other things.
