Old Seed New Seed

The Bible teaches that we reap (harvest) what we sow (plant). One of the challenges we face when we change, is that we want everything & everyone around us to respond immediately to the change. That's not realistic...

We have acted a certain way (i.e. planted a certain seed) possibly for years - and because of that - we have a certain field (set of consequences or results) now growing...

Then we decide to "change" or plant new seed - for a day...week...maybe two...And we want our entire world to applaud/respond to our "change". I.e. we want a new field to grow over night - it's not realistic.

The real challenge is not the change for a day or week...the real challenge is to continue in the change - the planting of new seed - until it bears a new result...Then if we plant enough new seed long enough - the old field will eventually be overtaken & die away...

So...plant & plant some more...expect the field to grow - but be realistic in it...And if the old field has to be dealt with - deal with it - but keep planting the seed you want to live in your life & plant plenty of it...
