Plowing Your Field
It’s time. You have a field to plow. You have seeds to plant. You have a harvest to reap. Yes, all at the same time.
First, realize you have a field. God has given you a field and not only that you get to name it. Naming your field brings ownership. It brings dominion. And yes, stewardship too. However, women typically don’t struggle with the stewardship part. We struggle more with the dominion part. But, girlfriend, YOU are a land owner. Stop for a minute and take a look around. What’s on your land? What do you see? The land the Lord has given you is your sphere of influence. It’s your area of ministry.
Second, acknowledge the seed you get to plant on your field. What’s the “seed” God has planted in you? Is it artistic expression, writing, speaking, praying? You hold a powerful seed. It was birthed from heaven the moment you were created and you were meant to scatter that seed on your land. Name the seed while you cast it forth. It’s ok to plant many fields. You’ve been given more than one field. You’ve been given more than one seed. Ecclesiates 11:6 tells us, “Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.”
Keep believing for the harvest. Keep watering that field with words of love and life. Regularly stop and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Inspect the plants and rejoice over what’s grown. Stoop down over the soil and believe new life will burst forth soon.
Your land is good because God has called it good. Your seed is good because God has deemed it so. Your harvest is good because God is the one who made it grow.
