DO YOUR BEST AND LEAVE THE RESULTS TO GOD

Read: MARK 4:26–29

Meditation verse:

“and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how” (Mark 4:27).

Your control over life’s occurrences, whether good or bad is very limited. Jesus gave a parable about a man who scatters seed on the ground and goes to sleep, expecting a harvest. This man has no knowledge of how the seed grew into a plant and bore its fruits. In a similar vein, Ecclesiastes 11:5–6 states, “As you do not know what the way of the wind is, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything”. God’s understanding, control and ownership are unsearchable, while yours are grossly limited.

So then, what should your attitude to life be? Be sure to put in your best in everything you do and, having done that go to sleep like the sower in Jesus’ parable, leaving the results to God. Increase comes from God and whatever He is involved in will grow. In every endeavour in life, there is a seed time and a harvest time.  It is only a matter of time.

Here’s God’s command to you: “In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). Are you going to obey this command today?

Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?

He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest.

Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:

Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.

If you prayed this prayer, send me an email at rockteachingministry@gmail.com. I would love to pray with you personally and send you a copy of my book; ‘Living the Life’ to encourage you as you begin your new life in Christ.

I look forward to hearing from you.
