Daily Huddle - Mon Feb 15, 2021 Ox Strength

​Love you all, praying for you,
 
I just love God’s Word.   It is truth and life and seed.   Proverbs 14:4 – Where there are no oxen the manger is empty, but from the strength of an ox comes an abundant harvest.  The ox doesn’t produce the harvest, but in order to see it, strength is needed.  Not oxen to tread grain, oxen to plow fields, to plant seed.  Without seed there is no harvest, and it takes strength to plant seed, to turn over the hardened ground.  Doesn’t seem to do much… but you don’t go by what it looks like at planting time.  If you plant the seed, you will see the harvest.  The seed is to read and believe, to ask and speak, and then keep reading, and believing, and asking and speaking.  There are only two words that matter.  God’s Word, and your word.  God’s Word doesn’t matter if your word doesn’t agree.  Because if your word is different than God’s Word, your word is the word you believe.  That’s why it’s so important to plant life, and plant faith today.  You do it with your words.  What are you planting?  You need oxen.  You’ve heard the term ‘dumb as an ox,’ but the ox doesn’t need to be smart, he just needs strength to do what his master wants him to do.  You don’t need brains for harvest, you need faith.  Sometimes brains get in the way of faith, they can uproot the seed before it’s planted, while it’s planted, or after it’s planted. God’s Word doesn’t always make sense to your brain, because His ways are higher than our ways as high as the heavens are above the earth.  God’s Word can only be understood and accepted by your spirit, not your brain.  It’s that way that seems right verses His Way that is right.  Everything you say is a seed.  Every time you speak, you are planting.  Every seed you plant will bring a harvest of one kind or another.  And every time you are in His Word – you are getting good seed.  Praying that your PRISM time is a priority today, so you plant the right seed – the seed that will bring a good harvest.  Just keep coming back to it, God will give you the strength to do it. Every time you do, your desire for it will grow, and then God will give you the strength to plant and keep planting.  Praying that you will plant today with the strength God gives you - that you will read and believe and ask and speak. 
 
Love you all,
