1 Corinthians 3:7-9 Only God Matures. 18 Mar 2024

1Co 3:7 In this,
neither the planter nor the waterer counts for anything;
only God, who gives growth.
8 It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering,
and each will have the proper pay for the work that he has done.
9 After all, we do share in God's work;
you are God's farm, God's building.

Excerpt from THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE, copyright (c) 1985 by Darton, Longman & Todd, Ltd. and Doubleday, a division of Penguin Random House, Inc. Reprinted by Permission.

Growth is a very hidden thing. It is attributed to God only.

The farmer who doesn't know.

Mar 4:26 He also said, 'This is what the kingdom of God is like.
A man scatters seed on the land.
27 Night and day, while he sleeps, when he is awake,
the seed is sprouting and growing; how, he does not know. 28 Of its own accord the land produces first the shoot,
then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 And when the crop is ready,
at once he starts to reap because the harvest has come.'

Prayer

Jesus, I trust that you will produce fruits.
