I Want a New Field
Rome wasn't built in a day - that's how the saying goes...Meaning, things change – typically over time – whether for better or worse...
Often in life, we come to these moments - where we want something different than what we are currently getting...The problem though is that - like a happy meal - we want it NOW. However, whatever we are getting - didn't just start today - it has taken time for us to get "sick & tired". Therefore, we have to give it time - one of the very things we are usually not willing to give...
The Bible says it like this - "You reap what you sow". In other words - the seed you have been planting - has now become a crop. So, to change it - you have to start by planting a new seed type. Then as you consistently plant the new seed - eventually the new crop will sprout & grow...Somewhere along the line - the old crop will be overtaken by the new...Then IF you keep planting the new – the old will fade away…But ONLY over time...
What I've seen - over & over again - is that we throw a few seeds of new & expect it to - kill the old crop & its consequences & become some miraculous harvest...ALL because we are "ready" for some change...It's not going to happen...
Realize, the crop you are now living in - is the seed you have been planting for a some time...To change it - begin consistently planting new seed...Then one day – if you stay at it - you will have a new field...
Galatians 6:7-10
