We just didn’t know very much yet. We needed more Word in us to back up what we were saying. We couldn’t buy a new house that day because we didn’t have new-house faith. We were still living in a dumpy, old rent house. We didn’t even have faith for a good rent house yet. Did we let that discourage us? Did we give up and quit on God? No. We kept seeking Him and putting Him first in our lives. We kept planting His Word in our hearts and our faith grew until there came a day when we could buy a nice house without even going into debt. JESUS IS TRULY LORD! Your Heart Will Process the Word If you’ll patiently keep seeking God and planting the seed of His Word in your heart, the day will come for you too when whatever you’ve been believing for will manifest in your life. It might look impossible to you right now. You might not be able to figure out how God is going to get it done. But it doesn’t matter. Eventually your harvest will come. How do I know? Because Jesus confirmed it. He said: “So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come” (Mark 4:26-29). A few years ago, I was standing in faith for the seemingly impossible (I don’t recall now what it was.) and I saw something in those verses I’d never seen before. I realized that between the time I first sow the seeds of the Word in my heart about a particular matter and the time my harvest comes, my heart is processing the Word. It’s working on it much like the earth’s soil works on a physical seed. I’m not a farmer, so in the natural I don’t really understand everything involved in the process. But I do know that if I put a tomato seed in the ground, it has to stay there awhile before it will grow. If I dig it up every day and look at it, or if I neglect to water it (especially here in hot, dry Texas) it’s not going to come to anything. On the other hand, if I give the soil the opportunity to complete the process, if I nurture and protect the seed and give it the water it needs, eventually out of that one tiny little seed I can get a whole harvest of tomatoes. Even naturally, that seems impossible. Yet it happens all the time. How much more can we be sure we’ll receive a harvest from the seed of God’s Word? With God all things are possible! So don’t worry about all the bad reports being broadcast on the news. Don’t be troubled by all the media’s dire predictions. Your future is bright. God has good plans for you, and regardless of what’s happening in this natural world you can keep right on walking in them. As long as you seek first the kingdom of God, keep planting His Word in your heart and watering it by meditating on it day and night, as sure as there is a sun in the sky, your supernatural harvests will keep on coming…until one of these days, everywhere you look you’ll see the goodness of God.
