Saturday sowing and reaping words of wisdom
Fear often lies at the root of our indecision. We're afraid of making mistakes, failing, or facing rejection. This fear can paralyze us, keeping us from taking action. But Ecclesiastes 11:4 reminds us that waiting for perfect conditions will prevent us from ever moving forward: "If you wait for perfect weather, you will never plant your seeds. If you are afraid that every cloud will bring rain, you will never harvest your crops."
Think about the excuses we often make: "I'm not ready," "I don't have enough experience," or "The timing isn't right." These are rooted in fear. Yet, throughout the Bible, God has used imperfect people in imperfect situations to accomplish His will.
Moses said, "I can’t talk."
Gideon said, "I’m too young."
Abraham said, "I’m too old.".
What dreams has God placed in your heart? What steps have you been hesitant to take? Remember, perfectionism paralyzes potential. We must trust that if God is with us, nothing can stand against us. Romans 8:31 tells us, "If God is on our side, who can ever be against us?" Faith, not fear, is the antidote to our hesitation
Just as God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites and provided manna in the wilderness, He will make a way for you. Take the first step, and watch as He opens doors, provides resources, and works miracles in your life.
Today, choose faith over fear. Trust that God’s plans for you are good, even if the path ahead seems uncertain. Plant those seeds of hope and watch as He brings forth a harvest beyond your wildest dreams. Your life is too precious to be wasted in the shadows of fear. Step out in faith, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.
Today ask Yourself???
What excuses have I been making that are rooted in fear?
How can I trust God more and take action despite uncertainties?
🙏🙏Heavenly Father I come to you today asking that You replace my fear with strength that I will walk the path of righteousness and that as I walk I will plant the seeds of faith on my way. Help me to harvest my faith over my fear and to stand proud for You in all areas of my life. Thank You Lord for my strength and the love You so freely give. I love You Lord🙏🙏

Friday's lesson from a tree part ????
If y'all remember the neighbor cut down 2 trees that provided shade on the side yard and driveway at my house. The sun oh the sun that has now scorched everything.
Yesterday while going to the car which I now park down in my bottom driveway in the shade I was talking to Jesus as I always do and I complained about all the sun and having to park down the hill and plain as day I heard Jesus say. "Lesson learned I hope, don't complain about a burden that is actually a blessing" What??? That has been the whole lesson about the trees being cut down. You see I complained constantly about the year round work of those trees (I still have trees but those 2 were a lot of work and worry about falling leaves, sap, branches. Especially where I parked but they was so much precious shade especially in this oppressive heat this summer.
So yeah hard lesson learned thank you Jesus for teaching me to look differently at my burdens they might actually be a blessing🙏💖🌲🌲
