3.3 Trust God and Anticipate

Mark 4:27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows

Trust God

The man in the parable sows the seed, and then he doesn’t worry about it. He goes to bed, gets up, basically he goes about his business. Why? Because he trusts in the seed. He knows that if he has planted the seed, it will grow.

It is the same with the word. God says His word which departs from Him will not return without accomplishing the purpose for which He sent it.

Trust God that as you sow seeds of faith, God can do something with them. It doesn’t depend on your eloquence. It depends on the life in the seed.

You don’t have to make people believe. God is the only one who can do that. So plead with Him to do that.

and anticipate…

And then anticipate. Watch for the growth to begin. Eagerly watch and wait.
