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”
