A word, be it spoken or written, always has something to do with the person who speaks or writes it. There is power and inspiration in human words and through it we come in contact with a living person. The same can be said of the Word of God. As Isaiah tells us “The Word of God never returns ‘void’, but is always fertile”, (Is. 55:11). The power of God’s Word is like the germinal force of the Seed, which makes us hope for fruit and harvest. The Word of God is his seed planted in the hearts of his children.
So what kind of seed are you planting? What are you planting in your children, your friends and your co-workers? You know for sure that you will always reap what you sow. To plant a seed, life has taught us that we need, to prepare the ground. What type of soil are you preparing for your seed? How do you respond to God’s Word? There are three steps involved in doing this: receiving it with our minds, treasuring it in our hearts and practicing it in our lives. Practicing it involves acting on what our mind has received and what our heart has treasured. The seed we plant today will determine the type of harvest we will reap in future. Let our prayer be that we may respond to God’s world, not only with our whole mind and our whole heart but also with our whole soul. Have a good weekend!
