Life in Death

Once a group of people came to meet Jesus. Jesus told them  

"I tell you the solemn truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces much grain".

I know how many Dandelion seeds are in this picture, but no one can tell the number of Dandelion plants that are in this seed. In a few days from now, probably during yesterday's heavy rain, it will fall on to the ground, die, and burst forth with life, giving birth to generations of plants.

As Christians, whom are we 'birthing'? How many of our future generations will be blessed because I - yes I - took a stand to live my life for Jesus today?

Feeling Lazy?

I observed this ant on this bush at the SABC campus, day light had quite faded off, yet this chap was working, collecting his food. It reminded me of what King Solomon wrote in the Bible (Proverbs):

 

Go to the ant, you sluggard;

observe its ways and be wise!

It has no commander,

overseer, or ruler,

yet it prepares its food in the summer;

it gathers at the harvest what it will eat.

How long, you sluggard, will you lie there?

When will you rise from your sleep?

A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to relax,

and your poverty will come like a robber,

and your need like an armed man.

^{and again in the Book of Proverbs, the writer tells us that} 

Ants are creatures with little strength,

but they prepare their food in the summer;

Keep Working!
