Position Yourself

Position Yourself  

But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all.  James 1:6

The journey of life is one with unexpected twists and turns, unforeseen obstructions, and a never-ending list of choices. So, just because we may not always get it right, doesn’t mean that our position in Christ is changed. We must position ourselves to receive from God and not lose hold of our stance.

You can position yourself to receive God’s blessings by planting your seeds in the ground.  A seed, for purposes of this devotion, is information you garner in preparation for your harvest.  For example, if you’re believing God to become a millionaire, you ought to plant seeds of knowledge in the ground by educating yourself on how to obtain the wealth you’re believing God for.  If you’re believing God for a career as an engineer, your seeds might include researching the field and finding out what schools are the best for this kind of trade. This is how you begin preparing for your blessing.  Whatever you’re believing God for, plant seeds in the ground for the harvest you’re expecting.

Once you have planted the seeds in the ground, like a gardener, you must then tend to your seeds by watering them.  Watering encourages growth and is done in expectation of a harvest. Even when you do not see the harvest, water the seeds periodically because consistency will yield a harvest in due season.
