Text: Psalm 4:1-8
Every seed that is sown is dependent on God's laws of sowing and reaping if it is ever to come to life, growth, and fruitfulness. Soil, seed, sun, wind, and rain are all necessary, common denominators in the process. Seeing this psalm from the perspective of the seed brought the realization that the seed is totally incapable of caring for itself. All the elements that are necessary for its very life are also the very elements that can contribute to its destruction. What's more, it has to die to live!
Vs. 1 - "Hear me... enlarge me... have mercy..." If a seed could talk, surely it would cry out to its Maker. The sole purpose of the seed is to be fruitful and multiply. A seed is often soaked in water before planting to enhance its capacity to hold moisture. Water is one of the basic elements of life.
Vs. 2 - "How long...?" Seems like much of a seed's existence is caught up in waiting, in hiding. It hides in the fruit, it hides in seed packets, it hides in the ground. In each of these places it has to wait. Surely nothing is more tedious than waiting.
Vs. 3 - "The LORD hath set apart him for Himself..." Submitting to the will, the pre-ordained plan and purpose of God is made so much easier when this truth is absorbed and embraced.
Vs. 4 - "Stand in awe... sin not... commune with your own heart upon your bed... be still..." So many Scriptures come to mind about waiting and the strength that comes in trusting in His covenant and promises. There is so much to be said for those who wait patiently for the Lord to bring His good pleasure to pass. Doubtless, it is not easy; but it is a crucial part of dying out.
Vs. 5 - "Offer sacrifices of righteousness... put your trust in the LORD..." No amount of human logic, reasoning, plans, plots, or agendas can take the place of complete and utter, childlike trust. It was that kind of trust that gave the three Hebrew children the strength to allow themselves to be planted in a fiery furnace. It was that kind of trust that brought Joseph through repeated betrayal and treachery. Seeds give themselves freely, trusting God to take care of the harvest.
Vs. 6 - "There be many that say, Who...? ...LORD, [shine] on us..." No matter what the gainsayers and the naysayers say, nothing can go awry if it has the smile of God's approval on it. The seed is dependent upon days of sunshine to warm the soil and bring the seed to life. Folks can doubt all they want to, but God's laws of sowing and reaping take no notice of doubt or unbelief. They're in effect for ever!
Vs.7 - "Thou hast put gladness in my heart..." The hope of the seed is the harvest that is yet to be. During the last supper, Jesus spoke of the time when they would once again gather to eat it anew int His Kingdom to come. He then set about to give His life to birth that Kingdom. Paul tells us Jesus endured the cross, despising the shame, for the joy that was set before Him.
Vs. 8 - "I will both lay me down in peace and sleep... only You, LORD..." The seed can commit itself without fear, purely and simply because of Who it is that is in charge of its life - both now and to come. Implicit trust holds nothing in reserve. So it was with the three Hebrew boys... "We are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." (Daniel 3:16b-18) Seeds of that sort will always bring forth an abundant harvest!

Sit On It!
By Pastor Ken Foreman
Text: Matthew 28:1-8
The women came to the sepulchre in sorrow, wondering who would roll away the stone so they could care for the body of Jesus...
But, before they arrived, the angel of the Lord descended. He rolled away the stone and then sat on it - waiting for the women to arrive. When they got there, he had words of comfort for them...

- Fear not!
- You seek Jesus - who was crucified
- He is not here
- He is risen as He said
- Come, see the place where the Lord lay
- Go, quickly, and tell His disciples...
- that He is risen from the dead
- behold, He goeth into Galilee before you
- there ye shall see Him
- Lo! I have told you!
I've Been Called to Change the Atmosphere
By Marvin Bembry
Text: Esther 4:14-16 - "For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Then Esther bade them return unto Mordecai this answer, Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so I will go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish."
God has called us to the Kingdom "for such a time as this." When we understand this - it changes our response and our attitude.
Worship/praise lifts up... magnifies. Jesus said...
God is already bigger than all your needs. He doesn't need your magnification to increase His size. But YOU need to magnify Him to appreciate His power!
While Saul sought his own advancement, and Samuel lay prostrate mourning... God sought and found a man (David) who was occupied with praise and pursuit [of God] and anointed him to be king.
Problem: We do not seek what we "think" we already know.
Look at how God revealed Himself to Job. It was in showing Himself as all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present majesty. He challenged Job to rethink - and in doing so, Job changed his atmosphere from one of "woe is me" to "How Great Thou Art!"
Paul said, "Oh, that I might know Him - in the power of His resurrection, and in the fellowship of His suffering."

God's Promises Are Within Your Reach!
By Mark A. Grisham
Text: Exodus 16:4 - "Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or no."
Israel was captive in Egypt 400 years. God delivered them and made them into a mobile people who lived in tents. God's blessing (favor) was upon them. They had cattle, goats, sheep and clothing and shoes that didn't wear out. His supply was inexhaustible. "Manna" rained down from heaven on them every day. Morning by morning... "Take what you need!"
On the sixth day, for the Sabbath, a double portion (two-day's worth) was provided. "Take what you need!"
"Manna" was just outside their tent door - within their arm's reach!
Imagine! Two million plus people received what they "needed" (each one of them) every day of every year for forty years.
Yet after ten generations they'd lost their identity and had taken on Egypt-ness. They'd been delivered from Egypt but Egypt was still inside them. Now they longed for what they'd gotten used to while God was raining His favor on them.
You need to know that His promise (and favor) is strong enough to stand on. "Take what you need!" That should build up your "most holy faith." You can retrieve the promises of God. His blessings are available at your tent door. "Take what you need!"

Little Things Mean a Lot
By Carol Warfield
After some bad experiences, I've never cared much for dogs. They dig up holes in the yard, shed hair on most everything they touch, they bark too loud and upset the neighbors, they chew up things, the smell turns me off, and they've been known to bite people.
One of my granddaughters went to an adoption show and saw this cute little shihtzu and yorkshire mixed dog, mostly black with some white. She decided to buy the dog for $350.00 and brought it home with her. She was raising two young children on her own and had to go to work to support them. Caring for the dog became too much for her, so she called her mother, (my daughter,) to take the dog. As we all know, our parents will, for the most part, be there when their children are in need. Mama took the dog, but she also had a big, dark chocolate lab and a cat, plus two birds and a fish tank. She and her husband work also.
One day, while stiiting in her living room floor, playing with this cute little dog, her husband said, "You have too many pets for us to care for, what with both of us working." So, as she wondered what to do, she felt that the Lord spoke to her and said, "Take the dog to your mother."
"But Lord, she doesn't like dogs!" she thought. The thought came again, "Take it to your mother." This was on a Friday morning. So she said, "If this is You, Lord, when I go there, let my father say, 'I always wanted a dog.'"
She called us and said, "Mom, I'm coming over." I agreed and she came in with this little dog following along. For some reason I couldn't understand, I loved that little cute dog at first sight, I did!
As she sat down in my living room floor with this dog, she began to tell the history of this special little dog. She had been in a hurricane in the south in 2005. She had suffered broken ribs and was with four puppies yet to be born then placed for adoption. As she talked about this dog, named "Minnie," (my mother's name,) my husband, who was suffering with gout in both of his feet and getting around with a walker, was sitting on the couch with the walker in front of him. He leaned over to take hold of the walker with both hands and said, "I always wanted a dog."
My daughter got a big smile on her face and said, "Dad, you just got yourself a dog!" Now we were hoping that Minnie would bond with dad, but that didn't happen. She bonded with me!
The moment that little dog came through our front door, my attitude changed toward dogs. The Lord placed a special love in my heart for this cute little dog. I soon learned that all the things I didn't like about dogs, Minnie didn't do. God designed this little dog especially for me, knowing my likes and dislikes.
For the past two years, the dog will be wherever I am, in the house, on the couch, by the living room table while I'm reading my Bible; she lays right by me. She loves car rides, so if my husband goes to get something at the store, he'll say, "Come on Minnie, you can go." Minnie will come over where I'm sitting and look as if to say, "Mom, are you going?"
I'll say, "No, but you can go." She'll just lay down on the floor as if to say, "If mom doesn't go, neither do I." My husband just laughs and says, "Mom, you got yourself a dog!" I cannot tell you how much joy and pleasure Minnie has given me since coming to live with us.
Extra work? Oh yes! Potty training her that first week, getting up in the night to let her out, keeping her bowl clean and full of water, providing food and treats when she does good, giving her a bath when she starts to smell like a dog, cutting her pretty, long, curly, black hair in the summer to keep her cool; these are just a few of the things involved in taking good care of our pets.
The Scripture comes to mind, "In everything, give thanks." With all my children grown and out of the house, God knew the void it left - time on my hands - and the need of something to care about. This little dog helps to occupy my time, to fill the gap, and keep me feeling needed and loved. He gave me this cute little dog to enjoy while finishing out my years in this life. These dogs live for about fifteen years. I'll be long gone by then and won't have to lay her to rest.
What a wonderful God we serve. He said He would supply all our needs. Thank You, God, for bringing little Minnie all the way from Hurricane Katrina to Michigan to bring happiness to a seventy-three year old lady who needed to know that all dogs are different, just like people. Live and learn!

The Christian with Hope is Never Hopeless
Submitted by Bernice Driskell
"Hope opens doors when despair closes them.
Hope draws its power from a great or deep trust in God and the basic goodness of mankind.
Hope regards problems, small or large, as opportunities.
Hope cherishes no illusions, nor does it yield to cynicism.
Hope lights the candle instead of cursing the darkness.
Hope looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst of them.
Hope discusses what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot be done."
Author - Father James Keller
One of the most fundamental questions in life is: Is there hope? This question surfaces in life in different ways. We can go forty days without food, three days without water, several minutes without air; but we cannot survive without hope.
What situation are you facing in which you need hope? "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of thingsnot seen." (Hebrews 11:1) "If only in this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable." (II Corinthians 15:19) "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three..." (I Corinthians 13:13a)
Don't ever give up. Your mind will play tricks on you and get you depressed. Your heart will tell you - always have hope. Keep believing. Faith is now, but hope is future. Remember the story of the Syro-Phoenican woman. (Matthew 15:21-28) Jesus helped her; He will also help us. He "is the same yesterday, today and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) Hallelujah!
Why is hope so important? Without hope we lose our motivation for life, family and ministry. Without hope we tend to go backward, instead of forward. Without hope we retreat for godly vision and follow the flesh, instead of the Spirit. Without hope we have no target for our faith to aim at, no direction for our faith to work toward. The hope I'm referring to is not the natural hope of society. That hope is merely wishing. Biblical hope means the confident expectation of good things. It involves patience. If you can't see God wanting to bless you with confident expectation, then you've lost your hope. Paul says our hope distinguishes us fromt he unbeliever who has no hope beyond this world. (I Thessalonians 4:13-14)
God wants to bless you so you can bless others. Do you have a target for your hope and faith to work toward? If not, your faith has possibly become dormant and ineffective. The Holy Spirit wants us to have hope and be dispensers of hope to people in hopeless situations. That hope is the Lord!
"Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God." (Psalm 146:5) "And we desire that every one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end." (Hebrews 6:11) "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13)

Proper Preparation for the Harvest
By Rob Brown
Text: Proverbs 6:6-11
The world longs to compete for success - BUT - you can't compete without proper preparation.
The ant is the hardest worker on the planet. It can carry up to five times its own weight. It can build bridges over water. Ants work together, utilizing synergy. The Bible says, "Faith without works is dead." Work identifies your faith. The child of God cannot work under a "little red hen" mentality. We need to be "laborers together!"

The world longs to compete for success - BUT - you can't compete without proper preparation.
The ant is the hardest worker on the planet. It can carry up to five times its own weight. It can build bridges over water. Ants work together, utilizing synergy. The Bible says, "Faith without works is dead." Work identifies your faith. The child of God cannot work under a "little red hen" mentality. We need to be "laborers together!"
Four Ways to Prepare...
- "Seek ye first the kingdom of God..." (Matthew 6:33)
- Bring them into the right atmosphere
- We're not in control of the timing - that's God's
- He's a rewarder of the diligent seeker
- Consistently feed on the Word of God
- A "cheater" cannot expect a reward from God
- Commitment - in this thing for the long haul
- Be filled with the Spirit
- God gives more than you expect (benefits)
- Noah received detailed instructions from God
- Laziness will leave you empty (Proverbs 13:4)
- Diligence (effort) in work is required
- You can't pass a test if you don't study
- Your "lack" will be apparent - it shows
- Laziness is a sin! (James 4:17)
- God has done so much for me - I owe Him!
- He deserves my best effort
- Humbleness will help you handle success (I Peter 5:6)
- God does the exalting in His time
- Allows you to stay passionate and on target
- Gives you the power to maintain your gain
- Helps you see new areas and potential for growth
- Our flesh is subject to pride, which in turn, can thwart/destroy it all
- Humility has room to receive more
- Gets ourselves out of the way so He can move and work as He sees fit
- Pride IS going to be humbled
- We didn't get to this point on our own. It's His mercy, His grace, His strength
- A humble heart knows its lack/s
- A humble heart is teachable
- Pride thinks it has arrived - I've made it!
- When you do your part - God will do His
- Work like everything depends on you and pray like everything depends on God
- Your part - dive in headfirst. A huge harvest takes huge effort
- When you have done all - you can stand
- No pain - no gain
- Church is not forced labor
- "A man persuaded against his will is of the same opinion still."
- God doesn't come in without an invitation. He knocks, but opening the door is our part
- His Spirit woos... draws... convicts
- Our part is to hunger to be part of the Harvest.
