Luke 8:11+15...The seed is the word of God. 15. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.
Before Christmas I planted some cress seeds which the packet said to plant on kitchen paper. After a few days some of the tiny brown hard seeds started to germinate and we've been fascinated to see them grow at different rates of growth. Some are only germinating now after many days while others are 1.5" tall already. But yesterday I came downstairs to discover they had all fallen over and looked dead as a dodo. I had forgotten to water them and they couldn't survive without it and I was so upset! It was like they were my pet cress seeds! I immediately watered them and they are now all standing merrily once again and I don't think I can cut them down to eat them after just saving their lives!😊
The reason I'm telling you all that is because Jesus called the Word of God seed and when we plant it by speaking it over our lives and believing it in our hearts, it will grow tall and strong and bear fruit, but just like my tiny cress seeds it has to be watered and not neglected.
May I encourage us all to keep planting God's Word everyday in our lives because it will grow, take root and change us from the inside out. If you've planted a promise in your heart keep watering the Word of God by attending to it, keep believing it. Don't listen to negative lies about it and don't neglect it. Promises of God can take time to come to fruition but a promise is a promise and it will manifest and bear much fruit with patience.😊
