“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and night and day shall not cease.” Gen. 8:22 (NKJV)
This is a rather definite statement about the security of earth’s conditions. Things change with the times but God’s promise is that life will continue on earth. In days of uncertainty when “naysayers” speak of gloom and doom it is good to remember that God is in control.
It is our responsibility to be good stewards of all that God has given us. Mankind should never be wasteful or greedy about the natural resources we have on this planet. Everything we have was given to us by God. The rules of life were set by Him for good reason.
Everything works better when you follow directions in the operational manual included with the product. That is true about life and our operational manual is the Word of God. One cannot go wrong when they do it “by the Book.” Freelancing life can cause all kinds of problems. Man creates many of his own problems because he will not play by the rules.
What if basketball rules were made by all school individually? Playing other teams would be chaos. Nobody would know what was happening or who won the game. Life is that way. Too often we use our own set of rules to live by. Others use their own set of rules and there is conflict. If we all were to use God’s original rules for life it could be heaven on earth.
Part of God’s plan for life is sowing and reaping. We will be looking at the message given by “seedtime and harvest” as we try to understand how our lives are dramatically affected by our practice of this principle.
