IT'S SEEDTIME IN VEGAS

IT’S SEEDTIME IN VEGAS

Here in Las Vegas it’s time to plant new seeds. This past winter I planted a winter vegetable garden. Now I’m going to do one for the summer vegetables. I have quite a bit of mental work to do, like figuring out what seeds to plant, where to plant them, which ones will grow well together, etc. Did you know broccoli and tomatoes don’t like each other much? The tomatoes don’t produce very well when they’re next to broccoli! This principle applies to us humans as well, doesn’t it? We produce better around certain people and not so well around others! There’s much to learn about life from what God has shown us in the physical world He created.

 

On the can in the picture above it says: “Faith plants the seed; Love makes it grow.” That is so true of our relationship with God. He inspired the writing of His many life lessons so we would be able to live a life that is pleasing to Him. The seeds are in the Bible, ready to be planted in our hearts.

 

Then Jesus shows us, in a practical sense, how we can choose to love God and see those wonderful seeds of faith grow in our everyday life. Luke 2:52 says: “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

 

We can grow in wisdom too, as we plant the seeds of truth from the Bible into our minds and hearts. Faith plants a seed when we read a Bible verse to our minds and agree with our mouths by saying, “I believe it.” Then professing our love to God and love for each other sparks the spiritual seed to grow. Since all natural things start with spirit, once the spirit in us receives the message that we believe, the spirit itself nourishes the seed’s growth into a manifested reality.

 

The tiny seeds I’ll bury in the soil this week will seem to be nothing: won’t be able to see them at all, just have faith they’re still there. Then in a few weeks they’ll pop up as sprouts, then grow into full-size plants producing yummy vegetables. Similarly, all spiritual things have to look like something when they are manifested into our physical realm.

 

Let’s plant a scriptural seed in our minds and hearts this week, saying “I believe it.” Let’s tell God we love Him and love Jesus and each other, and see how fast the seed will grow and manifest in our physical lives.

 

Love, Carolyn
