Are you having trouble knowing how to plant your seed? Are you a new Christian that doesn't know where to start? Isaiah 32:15-20 talks about the spirit being poured into us as a whole and sending us on a whole new level of being on a "high." You start out with a desert in your life and you slowly but surely start to plant your seeds about where you have been in your life. In the scripture it talks about a desert starting to look like a forest and a forest becoming fruitful.
When you become lost as a new Christian, you're going to get confused about where you should be, and you will venture off from time to time, but you will always come back to your "foundation." Once you are saved, you have made the commitment to live a Christian life through God's eyes. You start your foundation or desert the moment you accept God into your life. You build yourself up day by day, one step at a time.
No one said it was going to be easy, and no one said that you do not have to work at it. It is a work-in-progress that you constantly have to work at. For those of you who play sports, did you get to where you are now without any practice, or without any determination and commitment? No, you worked at it constantly. Even when you got frustrated, you still got back up and kept going. You never gave up.
In order for you to plant your seed in a desert, you have to build it up. You have to take care of it. You have to water it. You have to kill the weeds that try and take over it. You have to protect it. The seed is your life. The weeds are society. The water is God. The fruit is your faith. When you plant your seed in society you have to let God work in your life. If not, society will take over and destroy you. When you let God work in your life, you will be fruitful in more ways than one by God blessing you with someone, or for someone else to learn from you and your trials.
Everyone has ventured away from God at some point in their life, so you're not alone. Do not think that you can't be saved because you have sinned so many times in your life. God forgives you. God loves you. He seeks you for your love for him. When you run away from God, you're going to come back to your seed. Your seed is going to be dead, and when you see that it is dead, you're going to want to stay there and help it and dwell on what you could have done better.
Do not dwell on your past mistakes. Your past is your past, and you can do nothing about it now. Move on and plant a new seed, but take better care of it than the last one. Leave the past in the past and work on yourself. Find yourself again. You can do it. Believe in yourself and trust in God.
Psalms 25:7 — "Remember not my sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O Lord."
