I posted my thoughts about the Parable of the Sower on Saturday... on Sunday, at Fore Runner Christian Fellowship, much of the worship sang; bring Your rain, don't shut up the Heavens, bring Your rain! Part of the message talked about our hearts needing to be fertile to accept God's guidance. God is so coincidental!
On Monday, my daughter Tabitha, living in Trinidad with her husband Paul, told me this; they were on a children's ministry outreach over the weekend that centered around... you guessed it! The Parable of the Sower!
The Spirit of God moves, ever since Creation. He broods over the earth, watching over us. Feeding the helpless Sparrow, adorning the amber waves of grain. Longing to fellowship with us. He doesn't "need" us... He desires us! He doesn't force our love, He designs it! He doesn't do our bidding, He descends to us.
For He "is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though it's waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with it's swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the City of God...
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge." Psalm 46 1-4, 7

The Lord is so good to us as He gently leads us along. He sends His affirmations and confirmations to tell us we are on the right path. He sends us people and friends to walk the journey together.

It brings to my mind the lyrics to the song
The Servant Song
Brother, let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too
We are pilgrims on a journey
We are brothers on the road
We are here to help each other
Walk the mile and bear the load
I will hold the Christlight for you
In the night-time of your fear
I will hold my hand out to you
Speak the peace you long to hear
I will weep when you are weeping
When you laugh I'll laugh with you
I will share your joy and sorrow
Till we've seen this journey through
When we sing to God in heaven
We shall find such harmony
Born of all we've known together
Of Christ's love and agony
Sister, let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too
