As we serve the Lord in our various ministries, patience is required. Like a farmer, we till the soil, we plant the seed, and we water the seed. We get excited when we see a little shoot begin to appear. Yet, we must wait for the harvest.
Main Points:
1. Let me remind you of an important principle about the work of God: The harvest belongs to God. You and I have no power over the harvest. We are called to serve, love, work, obey, and use our gifts, talents, and time for God. He is the one that makes things grow. He is the one who produces the fruit.
2. We are responsible for our obedience to God. We must do what he asks us to do, but then leave the results to Him. Only the Holy Spirit can produce growth.
3. So, if you are serving God, if you are working hard if you have been obedient, and the results still haven’t come, it may be a matter of waiting on the right time and the right season. Be patient and remember the harvest is in God’s hands.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
1 Corinthians 3:6-8 - “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.”
Galatians 6:9 - “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
