7/2/24- Garden

If you've planted a garden, what was the underlying necessary component?

The definition of faith is "complete trust or confidence in someone or something." There is no proof prior to starting the endeavour that simply believing in the desired reward will be obtained. Faith is the underlying component that pushes us to believe that the planted seeds will sprout and produce a desired end result of tasty vegetables and fruit.

The work that goes into planting a garden requires time, energy, and effort. Initally, the dirt must be prepped in a nice sunny space, necessary for the desired outcome. Nutrients in the soil are essential. These nutrients are often added to the soil via good manure or an additive of nutrient rich dirt. Then you will need an a system to make sure the plants have adequate room to grow.

We are God's children, whom He longs to see grow. We require faith in a God that is not visible. In order to have a successful life and reap the reward of eternal glory, we must commit time, energy and put forth the effort.

The underlying faith that is required must push us to learn God's promises, and hold onto them. We must fill our minds and bury them in our hearts by reading His word in The Bible. This is how we add good ingredients to our mind and bodies in order to achieve this desired outcome. Just like we prep soil when we want seeds to grow. God is the light that helps us to grow.

The necessary room to grow requires time for ourselves. This time must be used wisely to fill our thoughts our minds and our bodies with goodness from above. Faith is required that God is the good news. He loves us and wants the best for our lives.

Isaiah 45: 5- 6

"I am the LORD, and there is no other;

There is no God besides Me.

I will gird you, though you have not known Me,

That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting

That there is none besides Me.

I am the LORD, and there is no other;

I form the light and create darkness,

I make peace and create calamity;

I, the LORD, do all these things."
