Life is a Garden

Genesis 8:22 (NIV)

As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.

This verse is a reminder of the timeless promise made to Noah after the flood, on that first morning of a whole new beginning. As we read it let us remember that it is an eternal principle that is still very much in motion today and not a momentary promise exclusive to Noah.

 

I want to inspire you today by reminding you that the eternal principle of sowing and reaping affects every area of our daily life, and when we remember this it can help us to cultivate harvests in our future that we can look forward to.

 

Life really is a garden and when you treat it like one, being mindful of what you are sowing, it can be a great place to be and call home.

 

"As long as the earth remains" – tap your foot on the floor: if it is still there, then this eternal principle established for our good is still in motion.

 

Another earth day is waiting for you to join in with it and yesterday you joined in even without thinking about it. As with gravity, there is no choice and no day off for this planet; and what a man sows, that will he reap!

 

Many experience the negative harvests produced by this principle because what they sow is not good seed; but we, the believers, should understand the workings of this promise and daily use it to produce harvests that are worth having and fun to run through when grown.

 

Seed-time and harvest affects every border and lawn of the garden of your life. If you want to bring some changes somewhere in the garden then consider what you are sowing there, and if you want carrots then plant carrots. What you sow into your relationships each and every day will determine what you harvest from them. This is a sobering thought for anyone who has a dream of greatness in the relationships of their life.

 

This is just one part of your life so take time to think what you’re sowing. Will you want the harvest of your actions? Hopefully most of your responses will be "Yes"; but if not, then do something about the seed you're using today.

 

Bless you,

 

Andy
