Just thought I’d share some thoughts from the past couple of services we have had at The Living Word Church.
Thomas Jefferson said, “Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens.” This past Sunday morning in the Adult Sunday School class, Brother Haner talked about how if we are going to move forward, we need to break up the fallow ground. And, how you just can’t take off the top of the “weeds”, you need to dig down and remove them from the roots. After we “plow” our hearts, we need to be careful what seeds we plant.
Wednesday night, Brother Lucas McManus preached about must needs. If you read in John 4:4, it says, “And he must needs go through Samaria.” Jesus was leaving Judea and said had to stop by Samaria on the way to where he was going. Why? Because someone there needed Him. He must stop by Samaria because of the needs of the people there. That is how it is in our lives. There are things that God has been dealing with us that we must do….because the need that follows it. For example: We must follow the Word of God because we need to go to Heaven. Sometimes we are faced with the “musts” in our life and fear them. We have to do this and we have to do that. But, look at it from the stand point that we must do those things because we NEED this or that in our lives. For every must in our lives, there is a need that follows.
My prayer today is Lord, help me change the things that I must because of the needs that follow. And, help me to break up the fallow ground of my heart…to cultivate it. Teach me to plant Godly seeds so that good fruit can grow and I can make a difference in the lives around me. Help me to continue to dig out the weeds and keep my heart as a fertile garden. ♥
