In Sunday School this morning, we were looking at all the letters written by Paul. We were talking about the fact that Paul traveled much of the time and planted several churches along the way. Being the elementary teacher that I am, I immediately thought about the story of Johnny Appleseed traveling all across America planting apple seeds all those years ago. As I was thinking about that, the Lord asked me the question, "What are you planting?" You know, that is a great question. When your name is brought up, what is the first thing others think of? Do you go about planting criticism or complaints? Do I go about my life planting negative words to others? What if all of us became as purposeful in our "planting" as Johnny was in his distribution of apple seeds? Or as determined as Paul was about preaching Christ? What if we set out from this moment on to plant words of encouragement everywhere we went?
Just as a farmer plants seeds each spring, may each of us be very intentional about what we are planting in the fields that we frequent. As we are faithful to sow whatever God directs us to into our fields, we will see a harvest! I am praying for you right now as you seek the heart of God about what you are to plant in the fields that He has given you because it is always planting season!!
In His Love!
