Since this seems to be an opportune moment, namely with the fires that Australia just went through, we just had some rain, we will see the bush bounce back, 2 weeks there will be photos of all the new growth but to add, a repost from a few years ago. 2011 I thinks
Seed
Funny how it is, when you can be walking down the road, just trying to get into the Lord, when thoughts start running through your head, Then came this though.
To Live one must die first.
Strange how it is but that is how it is for us. I guess that is why seeds are mentioned so often in the scriptures and in the bible.
See how it is, A tree forms a flower, one male one female, a bee, or moth , goes to the male receives some pollen, at some later time it goes to the female and fertilisers her with the pollen from the male. Then something wonderful takes place. The flower dies, it then forms a kind of womb in which the seed is formed and grows a little, then it dies. Who knows how long, it could be days or weeks or years, before it is released, but it waits, it has no mind of its own, it has no control; over its destination, But it waits, Here in Australia, our bush relies heavily upon fire, which could be years before one comes. Yet that seed will not be released until that pod has being scorched, then when it has, it falls, on to burnt. Dry ground. And then again it waits, still it has no control over its destiny.
Then the rain comes, it soaks into the ground, it reaches the seed, that has being hidden away for so long, and again something wonderful happens, the water soaks through the hardened outer shell that has protected it for so long, and reaches the inside, where the seed finally starts to grow, it expands, it breaks through the hard shell, forces down a root into the soil, for sustenance and for it to hold on, and it pushes up with its stem, forming new leaves as it reaches up through all the darkness into the light, then when it breaks through the ground, its leaves stretch out , to absorb all the light they can, for its from the light that life comes.
Even in rain forest, battles are fought, for the tree, that doesn’t breakthrough to the light, remains stunted, And unfruitful, while the tree that reaches the light, grows tall and strong, and produces many seeds of its own kind.
And that is how it is with us, waiting on God to purify us with fire, to be hidden whilst He prepares the day of our release, then He waters us with the Spirit and helps us to breakthrough the darkness, so we too can reach the light, which is Jesus, from whom our life comes, then we too will grow, for our foundation is sure, and Christ is our rock.
