Planting

Jeremiah 4:3 (MSG) "Plow your unploughed fields, but then don't plant weeds in the soil!
Hebrews 6:1 (MSG) The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on "salvation by self-help" and turning in trust toward God;

The field is our heart. Once plowed and open to the Lord we are challenged to not again enter into works of self but depend totally in faith on Christ.

Salvation belongs to our God. That word BELONGS is often overlooked. Salvation comes from nowhere else but the Lord. I cannot pepper my life with works, just to spice things up.

Inadequacy, lack of a revelation of the finished work of the cross, guilt, a need to be seen, approved etc will drive us to distraction and a lack of peace.

Isn't it interesting when you see it in someone else you have a revelation about your own behaviour, past and present? Truth comes and with it an opportunity to change, repent and allow grace to flow.

I cannot be saved by anyone else but Christ. I cannot save anyone to me, they must go to Christ. He alone is God. When I try to be God I wear myself out, and wear others around me out.

Lord today I give You my field. Plant what You will it it. Amen!
