When I was driving out to our summer swimming gathering one afternoon, the corn in the field adjacent to our swimming pool caught my attention.  It was IMPOSSIBLE not to notice how high it had gotten.

 

And yet, one week earlier, and the week before that, and the week before that….it was not even in my line of sight.

 

It seemed that corn had grown into a noticeable field OVERNIGHT.

 

So it is with much of what we wait for…..and there is a reason that the Lord makes many references to the farmer in His good book.

 

You see….that farmer worked that field day after day and week after week without any visual clues to what was going to happen.  And yet he watered it and tended to it as if he knew.  When he did this….the farmer showed great faith.

 

What are the fields that the Lord has asked you to tend to?

 

Prepare The Fields.

 

Because one day, if you do, there will be a crop that will be unmistakable.

 

I think this is why James tells us to walk in unwavering faith.

 

James 1  5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

 

None of us totally knows what to do as we step forward in life….there are often more unknowns than we can fathom…and we do not have answers as we walk to face them.

 

But we must grab on to the Answer and act in great faith.

 

As I walked through a friend’s house one evening I saw a sign that he had hung up in the entry way.  It was so simple:

 

Pray Hard.  Work Hard.  Trust God.

 

That pretty much sums it up.  Ask the Lord to help you and work hard…..while trusting that the crop is going to arrive…….your belief that it will—-IS EVERYTHING.

 

Prepare The Fields.

 

In The Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
