Today's Reading
Genesis 21:1-7
Genesis 21:22
Luke 8:16-25
Luke 8:5
A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field..."
Luke 8:15
...and patiently produce a huge harvest.
Observation
The personal pronouns jump out at me in this passage, "his seed," and "his field." The farmer's job was to use what God had given him to plant in the field in which God had provided. He didn't plant other's seed and he didn't use others fields. He was faithful where he was placed and with what he was given.
Application
Like the farmer, we are called to plant the seeds God has given us in the fields that he has provided us. Some fields are bigger than others as well as the supply of seed. The important thing is to remain faithful.
It's foolish and unwise to compare ourselves to what others are doing and have. Our attitude must always remain faithful in the place he's planted us and be happy and celebrate how he's growing the efforts of others around us.
Prayer
Thank you Lord for planting me in Tampa. For blessing me with seed to sow for your kingdom. Help me to be faithful in what you have given me, and give me the wisdom to see it grow exponentially for your kingdom.

Observation
The Lord speaks often of trusting in Him no matter how big the challenge may seem. He has a plan and the plan will be carried out. We need not understand His reasons, only trust in Him. All of God’s people were called to be followers and no one holds a more special place to Him except those that are lost and in need of Him.
Application
Anything is possible through Christ. His will be done regardless of our limitless minds. When we get discouraged, depressed, confused – we need only to turn to Him, to His word to be reminded that He is in control and will take the lead. When we are weary, He is strong. Through the storms live brings you, praise Him for the glory He deserves always.
Prayer
Lord, I know I forget to let you be in control. I know I forget to praise You in the bad times. Please help me to remember that You are ALWAYS with me. You are ALWAYS beside me. Lord, thank you for being my rock. Amen.
