You Didn’t Sow It—You Don’t Have to Fix It

You Didn’t Sow It—You Don’t Have to Fix It - 

Just because you have difficulties doesn't mean you've done something wrong. You may have sown good seed, you've been faithful, you honour God, you give, you serve, you go the extra mile, but now you have some weeds popping up in your field, things you didn't sow. You don't understand it. 

You didn't do anything wrong. The enemy came in at night and sowed some weeds. 

The good news is: the reason you have weeds is because the enemy knows you're going to have a great harvest. He wouldn't have snuck in at night and planted the weeds, if he didn't know abundance is coming, healing is coming, promotion is coming, the right people are coming. Don't get discouraged over the weeds, that's a sign that something amazing is in your future.

When the workers saw all the weeds, they asked the farmer, "Should we go pull up these weeds"? He said, "No, if you pull up the weeds, you're going to damage the wheat. Let them grow together, and when the harvest is ready, then they'll be separated". 

The workers wanted to fix the problem, they wanted to help, get rid of these weeds, but this farmer said, "Leave it alone. You didn't sow the weed, you don't have to pull up the weed."  

If they'd taken matters into their own hands, they would have ruined the harvest.

It takes faith to leave it alone. When you take your hands off, and not pull up what you know you can fix, but you let God take care of it, that's not a lack of faith, that's great faith. 

When you can say, "God, I trust you with my weeds. I trust you with things I don't understand. Not going to get in a hurry and try to fix things, that will damage my harvest. I'm going to leave it alone". 

That's a powerful position.
