Luke 8:11 “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.

No one, who has a little bit of intelligence, would plant a seed of corn on Monday, get upset because they don’t see corn on Tuesday, and dig up the seed on Wednesday. That would be foolish. It takes time for corn to grow. We understand this naturally, but spiritually, a lot of us are digging up our seed.

The seed is the word of God. We’ll see a promise in God’s word, believe and confess it for a period of time, get upset because we don’t immediately see the manifestation of that promise, and dig it up with our mouths. Some of us dig up our seed when we stop believing by saying things like, “this faith stuff doesn’t work,” or “I guess it wasn’t God’s will for me to have…” Stop digging up the seed!

Don’t dig it up. It may take longer than we anticipated, but don’t dig it up. Continue to visualize yourself with that promise, continue to confess that you received the promise, and continue to believe until it manifests. It may take a year, three years, or ten, but don’t dig up that seed.
