Keep Planting Seeds Of Faith

 

And don’t allow yourselves to be weary in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming!” (Gal 6:9 TPT)

When you plant a physical seed in the soil you expect a plant to grow if you do what is necessary to help it along like water, fertilizer, and sunshine. Similarly as a believer wherever you go you ‘plant seeds’ and sometimes you see your ‘fruit’ but sometimes not. 

Be an example to unbelievers. Be kind to telemarketers or sales people on the phone. Don’t catch yourself caught up in meaningless quarrels or gossip as that behavior causes seeds to die. 

It may be a card to a friend or stranger. Smiling at someone. Sharing what you have with others. Treating someone to something. You get the idea.

PRAYER: Help me to be intentional in sowing seeds of faith to those around me to include family, friends, and strangers. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Little Seed Planter

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6

What are you doing to plant seeds for the kingdom of God? Basically that is what a believer is supposed to be doing. These seeds can be a simple kindness, good words, encouragement, smiling, helping, putting others first, volunteering at a pro life center or as a Bible study leader, sharing a Bible verse with your Facebook page friends. Also things like leaving a Christian book or magazine on a plane or doctor’s waiting room. Be creative. 

You don’t have any clue what seeds you have already planted which have taken root have taken root but you probably will in Heaven one day. Continue to give to the Lord’s work. Some seeds can even be in the form of a financial gift. When you do this don’t announce it from the rooftop but do it cause you want to not to impress others. 

In 2018 start to ask God what seeds he wants you to sow. Ask Him to open doors for you to be a ‘planter’ then get at it! 

PRAYER: Oh Lord I love planting seeds and it is a huge honor as well as responsibility to do it well and daily if possible. These seeds can even be with my own family. Help me get ideas on how to plant. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
