The facts of farming

Jesus said that most of the seed would not survive (Mat 13:18-23). The devil prevents some from germinating. The hostile environment, persecution, worries, and wealth kills about another portion. The farmer does not understand what causes some seed to germinate and prosper (Mar 4:27), but he keeps on sowing in faith. Among the crop there will always be weeds. The weeds must be tolerated until the harvest (Mat 13:28-29) lest while pulling weeds we damage the crop. Farming is a tough business requiring persistence, patience and faith. I’m glad I’m in the ministry ;)
