Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Have you ever planted a seed and hoped it didn't grow? That's ridiculous, right? So it is with God and His Word. He wants those seeds that are planted by His pastors preaching His Word and by His people speaking His Word to grow and to bear fruit in the hearts and lives of those who hear. But how that happens, and when, and where, and how much, and how big, that is out of our control. And out of our understanding. So we are called to TRUST, to HUMILITY, and to PATIENCE. That it's God's seed, God's kingdom, and God's growth, not ours. That Word is living, active, and powerful. And working. We may not know how. We may not understand. But your Father in heaven does.
