Hello Family, Now a day you hear a lot about "Going Green" and the environment.
There is air pollution, water pollution, ice caps melting, the use of natural resources, hybrid and electric cars, global warming, recycle and reuse, and environmentally safe cleaning products.
You name it, it's out there.
And what about those solar panels people had on the roof top of their houses back in the 70's? Would that be considered a "Going Green Throwback?" Another way people are going green is by switching to an organic lifestyle.
People are conscious about eating food that is free from pesticides, hormones, additives or preservatives.
Just good old fashioned home grown, straight out of the ground healthy food.
Gardening and planting seeds to grow organic foods to eat healthy is great but we must also be careful of the other type of seeds we plant.
What type of seeds are those you ask? I'm talking about the seeds you plant in the garden of your life? Are you planting seeds of ungodly thoughts? Seeds of bad habits? Seeds of destructive behavior? Seeds of laziness? Seeds of dishonesty? And who's watering those seeds? Is it your spouse? Your parents? Your friends? Your neighbors? Your classmates? Your colleagues at work? 1 Corinthians 3:6 says I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.
Everything we do must align with God's word.
We must always plant those seeds of righteousness and expect growth (a blessing) from God.
If we plant seeds of sin and there is someone who is there to support (water) that seed, God will not bless it.
But if we plant seeds of righteousness and someone supports us, God will give us the blessing (increase).
Regardless of what we do and how we do it, it means nothing unless God blesses it.
It will not become greater or multiply or increase.
So the next time you decide to plant something you need to do two things.
First, make sure it is something that is loving, pleasant, caring, supportive or considerate of others.
Second, allow God to bless it.
Be patient.
Don't get too involved in the situation that you get in the way.
His fertilization process sometimes takes longer than we expect but in the end the roots are grounded in solid ground so your blessing will stand the test of time.
Be Encouraged and Have a Great Day!
