“I sowed the seed, Apollo’s watered the plant, but it was God who made the plant grow.”
The work of God never stops. It continues to grow and flourish calmly, slowly and steadily until all the desires, wishes and plans of the Almighty on earth are fulfilled. God makes us perform all the work. He works through us. We are God’s children and God’s Temple.
17 Luke 21
“The kingdom of God is within you.”
We humans can sow and water the seeds but it is only God, the Father Almighty who can make the seeds sprout. Similarly, the teachers and preachers can talk of God’s words and love. They can pray for the needy, for the people who are sick and in pain but they cannot transform or change their life. It is only God, the omnipotent Lord, who is all powerful and can give them a new life. Nothing is impossible for Him.
We sharpen our skills, take resolutions and labor hard to successfully achieve our goals and targets to fulfill our own and family’s long awaited dreams. Still tough times threaten us. We are never sure about our future. Unfortunate, stormy and miserable days often makes us feel that nothing is in our hands. These are our trial times. During the hard days we need not get oppressed but wait patiently for God to resolve our problems and bring spring into our life. These are times when we should pray unceasing, believe without doubting and ask God to grant us the strength to stay away from the temptations of the sin. In such times, Satan may allure us and make us impatient to take short cuts in life.
We should look up to the Almighty for help and patience in times of tribulation. Our trust will definitely save us. Faith in the Almighty God has the power to bring good results and shower our life with blessings. When God is with us, peace, prosperity and happiness shall reside in our homes and within us. He loves us dearly, surely He will shower blessings on us and help us grow and prosper.
Sow the seeds of love and service. God will help it sprout and grow.
