For as the earth brings forth its bud, As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61.11

The Lord illustrates His action in our favor by saying that, as the earth brings forth its sprouts and the garden brings forth that which is sown in it, He will cause justice and praise to blossom to the world. This teaches us that there are things we do not even expect to receive, but because of a blessing previously received, we will reap new and surprising things.

We have to sow the seeds placed by God in our hands. By doing this, He expects us to be good stewards of His will. What He grants us to give to someone is like a seed that, if planted at the right time and in the soil that has been properly taken care of, will lead us to obey His intents in a perfect way. We only have to follow His direction in fear and love for Him.

Psalm 126: 6 says: He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him. This wonderful act is carried out by the Most High. He is perfect in everything He plans and does. Because we are His instruments, we must always be ready to answer His touches, for He will speak to us in a clear way about what He expects of us.

Allow the Promised Land, the Gospel, bring forth Its bud. The work of the Father has to be known as the work of the One who works until now without resting or blinking (John 5:17). At any moment He answers to those who call upon Him wholeheartedly. But crying out to God mechanically is in vain. When discovering a promise in the Bible, take hold of it by calling on the Lord.

The Most High said that while there is a land there will be time for sowing and harvesting. Therefore, you only have to know the season of one and the other. You cannot reverse them both. The answer from Heaven will come to those who walk with Him and observe the right occasion of planting and harvesting. You cannot reap what was not sown, however, what He has generated in your heart will have the time to develop and then reaping will come. 

Every farmer knows that if he plants at the right time on good soil, he will reap much more than he sowed. Likewise, you must be convinced that if you have sown the good Seed you will reap more than you have sown. God planned that the natural seed would produce abundantly and according to its kind. Jesus said that the Word of God is the good seed (Matthew 13:24).

Don´t worry with the tares that the enemy planted without you noticing. During the harvest, the angels of God will be sent to pluck the scandals. Then, they bind them in bundles and cast them into everlasting fire. However, your wheat will produce plenty.

In Christ, with love,
