There Are The Forgotten Seeds

Some years ago, I wrote a devotional called "
The Forgotten Seeds". It’s about some seeds in a packet that I had
bought thinking I would plant them in a couple of days. I put them on a
shelf. Years later, I found them. They were dusty and unused, unplanted.
I had not done a thing with them.
At the time, the Lord gave me the lesson that if you do not use your
talents, prayer time and reading the Bible, those things would be much
like those seeds on the shelf, dusty and unused, growing older. It was a
powerful lesson that I did not soon forget.
Now, several years later, I look back on that same devotional and say
"Ouch!". Seems I forgot the lesson again. God has reminded me that if I
do not use my talent, if I do not pray as I ought to, if I do not read
like I should, these will get dusty. Have you ever felt that way? Are
your talents unused because you have forgotten them or because you do
not have time? Not enough prayer time? No time to read? Too busy?
God asks us all to witness about Jesus. I am in ministry with a website
to teach, enlighten when possible and to uplift. When I do not do what I
am supposed to, someone may not get the word about the Lord. So, I must
get the seeds of the Word of God, dust them off….read my Bible, pray
and start to write what I can about my wonderful Savior.
Are you wasting your seeds? Are they on the shelf getting dusty? Time to
enjoy those seeds. Did you know that the packet of seeds were flowers
that I could have enjoyed all spring and summer if only I had planted
them? Time to plant the Word of God! Time to enjoy the beauty. Time to
be ready for an
abundant harvest.
