Lately it seems as I try to press toward the mark, more weight keeps coming my way. I feel like I’m in this constant tug of war. I have days when I feel like I’ve conquered it all. Then there are days where I feel like it has conquered me and I have no energy to fight back. The only thing that stops me from giving in is God. I just don’t want to face Him in heaven with nothing but disappointment and failure. I do want to say in spite of how my life ends, I put up a good fight. So, I keep telling myself there is one more amazing chapter left to go in my life.
In Ecclesiastics chapter 3 it states, “To EVERY thing there is a season...” Sometimes that can be hard to remember. But it’s true! As I meditate on God’s Word today, He lets me know that there are at least 4 seasons with in one year.
With that in mind, I started to think about the different seasons and what they all had in common. Cultivating. I realized from one season to the next, I had to plant some seeds and there were some things that needed to be uprooted. God is always working, so we need to be as well. No matter what season we are in, seeds of trust and faith in God can be planted.
If you’re not careful, you could be planting seeds of doubt. Unfortunately, those seeds of doubt are like weeds. Weeds are wild plants seeking to take over your entire garden. If you don’t plant those seeds of trust and faith in God, doubt and worry could overwhelm you and take over.
So I’ve decided I’m going to commit to planting seeds of trust and faith in God even when it doesn’t seem like anything is growing. God is faithful to His Word and promised I would reap my harvest in due season.
No matter how little your planting is today ... do it! And do away with doubts by starting a new useful habit.

Exposing the truth:
o Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
o Psalm 104:27
These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
o Psalm 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
o Ezekiel 34:26
And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
