Believe and Bear It

Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love].
2 Corinthians 9:10

I believe and do not doubt that God is a Provider. He places His provision in the hands of those who will abide in Him to carry forth His seeds to fruition. One of my favorite passages of scripture is the Parable of The Sower (Mark 4:1-20). The reason I love this text so much is that through this parable Jesus shines the light on our hearts as the determinant of the volume and quality for the fruit we bear. The God we serve provides. He withholds no good thing from those who walk according to His will (Psalm 84:11). He commands us to be fruitful (Genesis 1:22). But the blessedness of our lives has a lot to do with the power of our hearts to manifest and multiply the seed that God provides.  
The Parable of the Sower positions our hearts as soil and His word as seed. In the explanation of the Parable of The Sower in Mark 4:20 it is written:
​
And those [in the last group] are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation] and accept it and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much [as was sown].”

My encouragement for you today is for you to accept the blessing of God's word into your heart. Believe it and do not doubt it (Mark 11:24). Let His word go to work on the inside of you. Let it permeate your being and transform you into the creature that God created (Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 5:17). When God puts seed into your life and finds your heart is right with Him, you will be blessed and bountiful beyond measure. You will bear fruit that is fine and far reaching. So let's be encouraged today to believe, and bear it.

Declaration: I believe the word of God, with a heart submitted to Him, and I bear fine and far reaching fruit.
