Osborn on Lk 8:11-15.&nbsp; So often we think of sowing and reaping in terms of giving, but this sure brings out an insightful new dimension for us.&nbsp; The sower wasn\u2019t sowing money, though that is an invaluable lesson, he was sowing the Word.&nbsp; Ding, ding, ding! Let\u2019s stop right there a moment.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;\"><br><\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Patience in bringing for the promise is only good if the Word has first been sown.&nbsp; If not, there is nothing spoken into the earth for the Holy Spirit to act upon, so nothing can take place.&nbsp; Now, that\u2019s not good because we know that \u201cHope deferred makes the heart sick\u201d in Pr 13:12. &nbsp; We have to find God\u2019s promises in his Word, put them into our hearts until revelation comes and then speak them forth with power.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;\"><br><\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Ahhh\u2026 then presto, instant results!&nbsp; Well, I wish it was just like Jack and the Bean Stalk with an instant harvest, but usually it\u2019s not that way.&nbsp; If we take a look into creation itself, we see seasons in operation.&nbsp; There is a time to plant, water, wait and reap. That means there is a season to simply be patient.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;\"><br><\/b><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Right now is an exciting time in the U.S.A.!&nbsp; Harvest is here and the farmer\u2019s markets are full. We just had our first home grown tomatoes of the season.&nbsp; Yum, I wait all year for a true ripe tomato sandwich. &nbsp; Although it didn\u2019t happen overnight, we were sure they would arrive when their time was right.&nbsp; Is it any different in God\u2019s Kingdom?<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto;

white-space: pre-wrap;\">In Lk 8:15 we see that the harvest was brought forth with patience.&nbsp; One of my favorite passages is Isaiah 55.&nbsp; It holds a beautiful reminder for us all.&nbsp; Just like spring time and harvest, so goes the Word of the Lord once spoken.&nbsp; It will not return void, but will accomplish all it was sent to do!&nbsp; Glory to God!&nbsp; That means that once the Word is spoken a promise has to come forth.<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">I do however see something in the Word that can hinder what we have prayed from happening.&nbsp; What is it?&nbsp; It is our lack of patience.&nbsp; When we lose heart in waiting, we often get weary and stop trusting.&nbsp; The Bible clearly says in Gal 6:9, \u201cBe not weary in well doing for in due season you will reap IF you faint not\u201d.&nbsp; That alone, not the enemy, can stop our harvest.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal;

white-space: pre-wrap;\">So what should we do?&nbsp; We must remember that there is no need to be weary in waiting, because God\u2019s Word is true.&nbsp; The seed of His Word in the ground is the most powerful plant in the earth!&nbsp; It has to spring forth!<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start;

Ja 1:4 says, \u201cBut let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing\u201d. &nbsp; I think it makes us more like Him and isn\u2019t He\u2026 oh, so patient with us!<\/span><\/p><p><b style=\"caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
