The farmer believes in the harvest. He cannot see it. In fact, the physical evidence of flood or drought or disease may lead him to doubt the outcome and the worth of his efforts. But he plows and cultivates in faith, without ceasing.

Your life may appear like that. You want to believe in a full harvest, a happy outcome. But the hard evidence of life points to a dismal ending, in your job,, your relationships, your health, or finances; even your very aspirations. Things are just not going according to plans. But we live by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) We also have to keep plowing new ground, planting good seed, and cultivating where God directs us.

Keep believing. Keep faith. Practice the presence of God in your life…and for your life.
