Sept 28                                                             The Power of God’s Word
It is not important who does the planting or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. -1 Corinthians 3:7 (NLT)
GOD MAKES THE SEED GROW
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you still do the same old things you used to be?
Are you constantly changing your ways to become free?
Do you listen to those who bring you closer to God?
Are you contented with life and your status quo?
It is not important who does the planting or watering
What matters is that God makes the growing
Live your life in the Spirit and be in constant harmony
You will reap a harvest of love, joy and tranquility.
“Change” is the only constant thing in this world. When people resist it, many things happen to them. Human nature clamor for control over things and situations. “Change” can disturb the comfort zone. Many fears arise from “change” because of the fact that it is something new. We cling to the “power of knowing” because we are in control if we do. We don’t want to let go of that power.
The bible says that it’s not important who plant or water the seeds of God’s word because it is God who makes it grow. God makes everything work out for good.
PRAYER
Lord, show me how to let go of control and embrace “change.”
REFLECTION
What changes in your life are you still resisting?
