Good Seed

Good Seed

“And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened 

in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping 

the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming!”

Galatians 6:9 TPT

I was talking with my son the other day.  The topic of seeds came up in the conversation. I was telling him that every seed you plant has different growing information.  Some seeds you need to start inside, some can be started outside.  Some you plant in the spring, some you plant in the summer.  Some you plant in the sun, some you plant in the shade. Some plants mature quickly and others take longer to get to their maturity.  But in the end, they all produce if you follow the instructions.  

If you don't follow the instructions given on the seed packet, it is most likely that the seed will not produce.  On the other had, if you follow the instructions, depending on whether its a flower or a vegetable, it will yield beautiful blooms or vegetables for you to enjoy.  You just have to follow each step.

It is the same with our spiritual journey.  You have been given growth information in The Bible. You need to follow it each step of the way. It will develop you into the person God has called you to be.  If you don’t follow it, you will not become who you are called to be. But if you follow it, oh how you will blossom.  

As we are growing and blossoming, it is so easy to fall in the trap of comparing yourself to other seeds growing around you.  You can find yourself envying how quick others are growing or how much they are producing. You can begin being jealous of the beauty of their blossoms and comparing them to your own. Do not do it! God made you to bloom and grow and come to maturity at His timing, not on your own timing. Follow the instructions you have been given step by step. Keep Going! Enjoy the time, your harvest is sure to come.
