Our lives are about
discovery…being awake, and watchful to find all the things we can that are
evidence of the heart, sovereignty, and on-going activity of the Father to
bring heaven to earth, and then to respond to the signs, tugs, nudges, and
slightest movements we can that invite us to participate. It’s funny…faith starts before we can
see a lot, but as we walk with Him and get increasingly familiar with His ways,
we begin to notice more and more going on around us and can start to see it
through His lens in clearer ways.
There are many things to
distract us, but if we will give our time, our eyes, ears, and hearts to
looking at who He is and what He’s about, the landscape becomes increasingly
breath-taking. To bear the fruit,
we are invited to prepare our soil, planting seed, watering and tending to the
young plants of our belief. We
don’t earn the soil, He’s given us a plot of land He calls our life, but we get to choose what and how
much we produce on it. Some days
seem just hand to the plow without seeing growth or fruit. And then time passes and we one day
stop, look back, and see that there has been a trail of harvest from our fields,
and what started as a tiny plot became a vast garden as we kept at it.
