From Plowing Fields to Planting Seeds

Honest questions, thundering statements, tender touches, tough love, that’s our God. Shaking every tree, moving every stone, seeking out the lost sheep in the valley and hills. He’s looking to take us from plowing fields to planting seeds in the hearts of many.

For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” John 6:38-40 NLT

God will get our attention, the choice is ours to turn and follow Him. Isn’t that evident in the Bible? He made a shepherd a king, a humble maiden the mother for His Son. He takes prophets from plowing the fields to planting His Word in the hearts of men.

God is still moving in miraculous ways today, seeking our hearts, not one bit less than yesterday but tirelessly on and on today. God seeks to turn the hard stony soil of our hearts hoping we will make the choice and come to Him.

He has an abundance of seeds to plant in our willing hearts. Seeds of faith and plans for us to prosper. He will take us from plowing fields to planting His Good News, His Word which are the seeds of hope for all mankind.  

Never pushing, but inviting, ever gentle with enduring patience. Step by baby step He leads us to that tender place in His heart that will lead us to have a greater understanding of His miraculous grace and unconditional love.

“…If there are a thousand steps between us and him, he will take all but one. But he will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours. ―Max Lucado The Gift for all people”
