God Is ... Through Matthewનમૂનો

God is . . . The Harvester

“Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.” Matthew 13:30 NIV

Do you ever feel like a single stalk of wheat among weeds? Maybe you’re the black sheep of your family — or maybe you are just plain weird — and you are bullied or even persecuted for it.

There will be times when people try to sabotage your identity in Christ. You can be sure, though, that God knows the enemy’s plan. He has given you everything you need to survive among the weeds until the time comes when He will rescue you.

You can rest in Him no matter who is persecuting you. All He asks from you is that you have a relationship with Him. This relationship will guarantee that instead of being pulled up with the weeds, you will be lovingly separated from them at harvest time.

In the past, how have you gotten through your times in the weeds? How will you endure those times in the future?

Prayer:

Father, I am grateful to know that You understand my struggles. I treasure Your promise to save me. Amen in Jesus’ name.
