Seeds

We are still early in the year so most of us are still planning out how this year will be the year that we will (insert your plan here). Yep, we have a plan for things to happen even if we haven't made any resolutions. So, what does that have to do with a seed you ask? Well it is real simple. A seed is equipped with everything it needs to become a plant. The seeds contain the leaf, the stem, and the flower. We simply need to plant it and water it, and give it a bit of sunshine. 

Has God ever put something on your heart? Is there something you know that you are supposed to do but haven't done it? What is stopping you? Is it fear, anxiety, worry, or doubt? We too are equipped with everything we need. Sometimes we need to step out on faith and just do that thing. It may not make sense to anyone but you (and God). If God has told you to do something, He has already equipped you with everything you need to accomplish it.  So here I go, issuing you yet another challenge. Let 2012 be the year that you birth whatever it is that God has spoken to your heart. All you can do is put one foot in front of the other, one step at a time.  

Ponder this verse in your heart, The Message says it quite plainly, "Because you're not yet taking God seriously," said Jesus. "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle." (ref: Matthew 17:20) The Word is telling us that with just the minutest bit of faith, nothing is impossible. To further confirm, James 1:22 states, "Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear!"  (ref: The Message) So what are you waiting for? Your destiny (and mine, because this is just as much about me as it you) is calling! Get started! Be blessed and be a blessing!
