Plant Your Crop - The One Year Mini for Leaders

Plant Your Crop

Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting? Isaiah 28:24

My wife is from a family of farmers in Nebraska. My father-in-law, Ken, spends a lot of time each spring working the soil. The fields look great when he’s finished.

You could put everything I know about farming into a very small bucket, but I have figured out one thing: You have to plant seeds if you expect to harvest anything in the fall.

If all Ken did was plow the dirt, he’d have some really great-looking dirt.

Nothing is certain for farmers, but the yield is related to the amount and quality of the seeds they plant.

Have your harvests been less than you expected lately? Could you be spending too much time getting things ready? Is it time to put away the plow and start sowing seeds?

In Isaiah 28:26, the prophet concludes, “The farmer knows just what to do.” I’m sure you do too.

If you want a harvest, you must put some good seeds in the ground.
