The lazy man will not plow because of winter; he will beg during harvest and have nothing. Proverbs 20:8
During my quiet time today the above scripture stood out. It seemed like I have read it or heard someone ministered on it before. Nevertheless, this time, like the word always does, it came alive to me. It’s exactly what we do. Because of how the conditions look we fail to “work.” We are always waiting on perfect conditions before we will step out on what God has told us to do.
From a natural stand point it makes since. Why would you plow in the winter? The ground is hard and it’s COLD out. It’s a lot of work to try to start preparing the ground in the winter for planting season. With snow on the ground and the trees weighed down with ice, what could come of your hard work?
I remind you child of God as well as myself that we walk by faith. What we can’t see is more real then what we can see. Don’t be limited by the season that you are in. You might be in the middle of a snow storm, hurricane, tornado, flood or a heat wave, but don’t be moved by what you see. Sure, these conditions may not be right for the full vision that God has given you, but there are steps you can take now. It’s the perfect season to write your vision and make it plan. The conditions are perfect for research. Start looking up information; get Connected with others who could possibly be resources for you.
Don’t get caught begging during harvest time because you didn’t do enough plowing in the winter.
Much Love,
Cindy
