It Doesn't Matter Who Plants and Who Waters

If you are a regular follower of this blog, then you will notice a bit of a change for the next 8 weeks. I am serving as a table leader for an 8 week Freedom Workshop. If you'd like to follow along, you can find the resources at the link directly above. Also, I will post here, the daily Bible reading assignment (heartwork) so you can read along. This workshop has been a life changer for me so I'm eager to share it with others. May you be blessed!

BIBLE READING HEARTWORK
Week 6 - Day 4

1 Corinthians 3; Psalm 119:57-64

1 Corinthians 3:7-8

It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.

Lord, I've been so caught up in wanting to be used to lead someone to you, that I lost sight of this. Thank you for reminding me. Whether we are spreading the seed, watering it, or harvesting, we are doing the work of the kingdom and will be rewarded.

Lord, I still want the privilege of taking part in the harvest, but help me to remember that planting and watering the seeds is equally important. It is you who cause the seeds to grow. Help me to always be ready and willing to do my part. In Jesus' name, amen. <3

FREEDOM WORKSHOP VERSES

1 Peter 4:12-13

Dear friends, don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad - because these trials will make you partners with Christ in his suffering, and afterward you will have the wonderful joy of sharing his glory when it is displayed to all the world.

1 Peter 4:12-13

Romans 6:16

Don't you realize that whatever you choose to obey becomes your master? You can choose sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God and receive his approval.

Romans 6:16

MEMORY VERSES

James 1:12-15 
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, "God is tempting me." God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
James 1:12-15
