We plant a seed in the soil and ensure the soil is moist throughout the germination process. With sufficient light, we expect growth in due season. A tiny stem and leaf will soon sprout out. Germination takes time. There are no quick fixes and instant results.
In many ways, the Christian life is like this little seed that goes through germination. Just because we do not see any visible stem or leaf emerging from the soil, it does not mean that growth has not taken place.
The glaring inactivity of the surface of the soil may cause us to wonder if anything is actually working.
When we go through trying times, we loose focus and faith. We tumble through the maze and spiral into deep despair.
The reality is God is actively at work in our lives to orchestrate our circumstances. We may not see immediate visible signs.
By faith, we know that we are in the safe hands of our maker and He will come through for us. When we do not see any tangible growth and result. We persevere in holding on to the promises of our faithful God.
God propels us to greater height and depth in Him. He works His purposes through us. The times we spent travailing in prayer are the most awesome times because they build faith.
The Lord surely makes good use of the germination process to mould and make us to be more like Him.
We journey on with great expectation in Him. He blesses us beyond our wildest imagination as we wait patiently in persevering love.
