The Victory Gardener's Promise

Let me begin with a little scriptural prefacing,....
Luke 12:48,..."For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:..."

The nihilistic mantras chanted by a lost humanity, constantly beckon us to take our hands from the plow. We, who'll pray over land, readying it for the planting of seed. We, that labor long in early preparation for a boundless harvest. We, that willingly break up the fallow ground with each passing season; as our solitary shadows grow more bent upon the land. We, that labor with purpose, as God provides the increase.

We, who have sharpened the plow's edge. We, that give no excuse for reasons of the weather. We, that with the passing of times, have sacredly stored, and handled the seed. We, that lovingly support the weak firstfruits. We, that gently guide the spreading vines. We, that constantly feed. We, that swiftly remove the ever intruding 'wolf' weed.

We, that praise God in the spirit of thankfulness for receiving His bounty. We, that practice stewardship over what God has blessed us with. We, that allow other's to glean. We, that heed God's commands,...and not the world's demands. We, that tend to the Lord's victory garden !!!

Yes, much has been given,....and much is required,......and voices beckon to turn loose of the plow; but always remember this promise by our Lord:....

1 Corinthians 15:58,..."Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."
