Prep time

 1 Cor 3:6-8

I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
There’s a whole lot of work done to prepare the field for planting and then there’s more work that happens after planting before you see the first sprouts and then there’s more work to bring the plants to harvest time.
Sometimes our focus is so much on the end result/harvest time because honestly no harvest and all the rest of the effort was for nothing. YET without all the effort before hand there is no harvest so the whole process is important. If it is important then each part of the process needs to not only be taken seriously it needs to be celebrated. So keep the end result in mind but be focused on the tasks at hand and celebrate each task as you progress

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
