Walking in faithful obedience, especially when you don’t feel ready, is more honorable than waiting until you think you can walk in perfection.
Maybe it’s something the Lord has nudged you to do, or a person God has asked you to reach out to, or a way you know He wants you to better steward your health. These are some of the things God prompts that we rarely feel ready to lean into. So we wait.
There are always distractions, and other things that seem to need our attention first. We build a mental checklist of everything we must do to be ready for what God has asked. But what if, for just a moment, we considered how much good seed could be planted through us in the time we spend putting it off?
Good seed is planted in obedience. It grows from faith that God can use us right where we are, just as we are, when He asks something of us.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (ESV) says: “He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.”
Let’s not be the farmer who waits for ideal circumstances or certainty to plant. Let’s be the farmer who hears the Lord and responds in faith, trusting that whatever the outcome, God is already there.
What might you be putting off that God is inviting you to step into? Let’s not miss the good seed He wants to plant through our faith today.
