Day 18, July

Enjoy Ordinary Days

They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing. Psalm 126:5

Our days in the kingdom of God are like seeds scattered upon the ground. We must continue to sleep and rise, night and day, while the seeds that we sow through our words and deeds sprout and grow and increase

Mark 4:26-28 Jesus went on to say, "The Kingdom of God is like this. A man scatters seed in his field. He sleeps at night, is up and about during the day, and all the while the seeds are sprouting and growing. Yet he does not know how it happens. The soil itself makes the plants grow and bear fruit; first the tender stalk appears, then the ear, and finally the ear full of corn.

Most days are not full of excitement, and some days are more difficult to endure than others. But we can enjoy the ordinary and the challenging days of our lives. As the earth produces first the blade, then the ear, and finally the full grain in the ear, so will our lives produce a great harvest from our faithfulness in sowing righteousness.

Continue to do what you know is right to do, and enjoy this ordinary day. You are one day closer to a joyful harvest.
