God's word is His seed

God watches over His word
I value My word. I watch over it to bring it to pass. If a man would know what is important he should watch how he spends his time. If he would know what is important to Me, his God, he should watch how I spend My time.

I put My seed, My word, in the earth and patiently watch over it. When Man sees nothing because the seed is under the ground, I see the seed growing. I know the stages of the growth of the word I plant. I know what is needed to bring it to maturity. If I ask Man to care for his physical harvest, do I not care for the spiritual? I patiently watch over it that it might bring forth the best results. This is how I spend My time.

I think about My plans before I speak, carefully placing My words in earthen vessels. Though a man may forget, I never forget My words. The care I have in watering and nourishing the earth is the same care I have for Man, My vessels of earth. If his life fails in him, though My purposes continue, My seed will perish in him. This is why I scatter many seeds, all of them important.

Though I could speak a word and bring creation into being, I have not brought My kingdom into being on the earth without the labor of Man. Just as the seed needs the earth to mature, so My word needs Man in order to grow and become a harvest. I designed it this way, that I would labor with Man, my word in him, until maturity cloaks him with the likeness of Christ. The life in the earthen vessel is valuable, as is the word I speak. I carefully tend to the life of each man that he might become a son of God. It is the power of My word that will one day transform him into My image. He knows not that the seed of My word, laying in the darkness of the soil of his heart, will one day become a light that shines out of him. But he doesn’t need to know what the word will become. He only needs to let Me tend to it, and have faith in My ability to do what I do best; bring My word to pass. If men will have faith in Me, and follow My example in the earth, which is Jesus, the Seed, then they will become sons and daughters of God. The Life is in the Seed, the word in the flesh which came to dwell amongst men. The Life will find its way from deep in the soil of the hearts of men up into the Sonshine of My Spirit.

As a man learns to value how I spend My time with him, he will spend his time wisely. My words will find deep root in him, and his life will surround the seeds with nourishment. This man will arrange his time so as to shelter the word as it begins to be birthed from the earth of his life. He will watch over his faith and let no evil thought steal the word from him. He will weed the desires of the world from his heart, and lay his cares aside when I speak. Trust and love, hope and faith will fertilize the soil and make it rich. For I have entrusted my word, which is of value, into his life. My hope is for a harvest. I have loved his life and imparted faith for him to care for that which is yet unseen, as if it were seen. I have given each man the ability to imagine the unseen, as if it already existed. He has the ability to draw affection from his heart to nurture the seed of my word, watching for the promised harvest. For what a man hopes for in faith, he waits for with endurance. And this ability is from his God, the Life within the seed. Amen.
