Good Morning!! How does a crocus bulb know when to shoot up its foliage, and bloom while snow still covers the ground? How does a tiny acorn become a tall oak tree? I don't understand how any of these processes work. But I know that digging in the dirt helps to aerate the soil, and adding fertilizer and water aids the growth of the plants. And since I have repeatedly experienced the patterns of seedtime and harvest, I trust they will happen again.
"I pray that . . . Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love."—Ephesians 3:16-17 (NRSV)
There is much in our own lives that we don't understand,...but if we dig deep into scripture, we can become rooted and grounded in the word of God,...spiritually nurtured in the love of Christ. The more we experience this divine presence, the stronger our faith grows and the more assurance we feel that Christ does indeed dwell in our hearts, and is present to meet our every need.
We must work to continually nourish the growing faith in ourselves,...and others.
Father God, thank You for showing us over and over again the cycle of seedtime and harvest, that displays Your faithfulness. Strengthen the roots of our faith so that we may bear good fruit for You. Amen.
"Obedience is the key to having the presence of God in our lives,
...if we're not obeying, we aren't really walking with Him."
