We often refuse to sow seed simply because we may believe (erroneously) the soil is too hard, too shallow, too thorny. God already knows most of our efforts may seem futile to us. It is simply our responsibility to sow the seed and allow God to create the fertile ground. However, if we refuse to sow the seed for any reason (not our call), we lose out on the promise - that our harvest will be blessed up to 100 fold. Those are outrageous odds! More than we can ever hope to imagine!! How dare we refuse to sow because we think our sowing will be futile. The challege and Blessing is to Sow and Believe!!<BR/>(Karen L.
