Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant.
If they watch every cloud, they never harvest.Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.—Ecclesiastes 11:4-5 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me not to wait for what I perceive to be “perfect conditions” to begin serving You, and in doing so miss out on being used by You in the ways that I can be now—but rather help me trust You to take my every offering and accomplish what You will with it.
Let me be eager to plant
my seeds of faith and service—regardless of the prevailing circumstances—knowing
that it is You who brings every good thing to pass according to Your mysterious
ways.
Help me not to get so
caught up in trying to understand those things that are beyond my understanding
that I don’t move at all, but rather by faith let me place all of my trust in
Your love and goodness, and in obedience,
respond to Your every prompting of my heart—no matter how seemingly small.
Help me to truly live the
adventure of not necessarily knowing how things will work out—but knowing with
perfect assurance that You will bring it all to pass according to Your plan.
Help me not to wait for what I perceive to be “perfect conditions” to begin serving You, and in doing so miss out on being used by You in the ways that I can be now—but rather help me trust You to take my every offering and accomplish what You will with it.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
