Mandy, Hannah and I went to visit Imago Dei again tonight. We had a blast!! The church plant is having preview services at the Sky Lounge (a bar!) until they launch their church sometime in August. For the past few weeks we have been engrossed in the book of Luke talking about relationships, Jesus calming the storm, and tonight about the parable of the seed and the sower. I have never really thought about the fact that I have missed out on so much because I just let The Word go in one ear and out the other. In our Outlet bstud we have been talking about the Psalms of Assent and the video we watched talked about how so often we take God's word and just eat it whole. However, God calls us to take that seed (God's word) and plant it, harvest it, in order to reap blessings. My thoughts are all over the place with this simply because I feel so convicted. God promises in Psalm 126 that those who SOW will REAP. He also promises in Luke 8 that we will bear fruit if we hold fast to the word in patience. God IS moving among his people, we just need to stop eating our daily portion of God's word in one bite. May God bless us for being doers of His word.
To remind myself that I am to sow what God has provided in order to reap a harvest, I am going to purchase some seed tomorrow and plant. I pray that the constant care, nurture, and love I give the plant will in turn provide a beautiful flower. May that be a reminder that God is faithful to bless those who are diligent servants.
