As i gazed out the window on the bumpy ride to the university today the weight of emotions was bearing down. My spirit cried out to the Lord in desperation. There was a release of pressure as i conversed with the Lord about China not stirring my soul for the long term. Feeling the need to press in more I grabbed my Bible and turned to 1 Corinthians. The words leapt off the page and shook me deep.
“So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor. For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:7-9”
Like a cool drink of water this truth refreshed my spirit knowing that nothing is dependent on me. I am a worker in my Fathers field.
