The lifecycle of a seed

 

 

Eccl. 3:1-2

 

 

There are seasons in life, even in our spiritual life.  Winter is one of them......but winter is not a dormant season.  It is not a season where there is no movement or a season where God is not working..

 

 

We may not see it, but something is happening in that dark, cold place.  God is preparing that seed, giving it everything it needs, watering it, nourishing it, equipping it and getting it ready to bloom.

 

 

John 12:24

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.

 

With seeds, death is not permanent, it is a temporary place of separation! 

 

 

That seed is not dead, it is growing, even when you can’t see it.  God is nourishing that seed.  Every time you pray, that seed receives nourishment.  Every time you give, that seeds receive nourishment.  Every time you wait in faith, it strengthens your seed. Everytime you worship, you breathe more life into the seed!  

 

 

Psalm 126:5

Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. 

Prayer Points

 

1.  Father , teach me to be patient and to trust in Your perfect timing. That I may understand that every purpose under heaven comes to life in its appointed time. 

 

 

2. Ask God to grant us the courage to let go of our old selves, so that we may be transformed. To embrace the temporary seasons of separation and loss as opportunities for new life and fruitfulness.
