God sows the seed

I'm so excited. I've waited so long for this affirmation and finally God has in the past week, given me the seed to sow.

"And He who ministers seed to the sower will offer you bread to eat, and will multiply your seed, and will increase the growth of the fruits of your justice." ~ 2 Corinthians 9:10

I'll be honest. I've tried for years and years to get this project off the ground but it wouldn't budge. I was trying to move the boulder (so to speak) with my own strength. It was only when I placed it in the hands of God that it has finally moved. God sent me a very clear affirmation of what it is I have to do last week in prayer. Not only that, He has planted the first seed for me to sow. I can hardly contain my excitement because it is something that comes naturally to me.

Although it is very possible for God (I'm speaking from experience and you should really get used this) to maybe ask you to do something completely opposite to what you would usually do, God has not asked me to go Bungy jump, climb Mount Everest or train for a Triathlon (phew!). He knows. He knows. He knows that would so not be me (phew again!). He knows my strengths, he knows my weaknesses and I'm so glad that it took so long but he finally thinks I'm ready for it. It took years for me to receive His affirmation. Are you ready to wait it out?

For the moment, I'm not going to say what it is. I'll have to work hard at it. I'll have to put in my humanly effort but as long as I do so, I know that God will take care of the rest. He has told me so and I believe and trust in Him. He wants me to take care of what I have to take care of and he will do the rest. THAT is just wonderful assurance from Him!

It took me 44 years to realise it but I finally understand it and am trying to practise it. I am nothing without God. It is He who decides if I live or die. It is He who provides. He is my sole provider. All provision is from Him. Praise be Jesus!
