God has placed His Hand on you to do mighty exploits for His Name. Be encouraged to not lean on your own understanding. Schooling, training and work experience teach us to figure it out, work through it, pull all-nighters and dig deeper. There comes a time that we as ministers must cast all our cares on Him and lean not on our own understanding. We allow His Spirit to refresh and restore (Acts 3) and we literally enter into His rest. His love, joy, peace and grace produce fruit that will remain. The funny thing about a fruit tree is that it doesn’t stress about producing fruit. If it rains enough and has adequate soil it will just bear fruit without trying. Worshipping and hearing God speak will cause the joy of the Lord to be our strength. We will hear His voice and another we will not follow. There’s a word in the Greek that means automatically, without human effort. It’s found in Mark 4:28 when Christ is speaking about earthly seeds automatically growing. He is sharing a powerful parable that illustrates the seeds of the Kingdom of God growing and producing fruit through our lives. As seeds grow and don’t show up in one day, so are the spiritual seeds growing in our hearts.
Mark 4:28
Automatee. By its own energy, without either the influence or industry of man.
