So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only GOD, who makes things grow.
---------------------------------------
This verse is powerful, yet very humbling! No man can grow a church! No man can grow a ministry! When you think about it . . . we can’t even grow a child or a rose! I suppose that’s why GOD’s Word tells us to train a child . . . not grow a child! We can plant and we can water, but only GOD can make things grow. Therefore, if no growth is taking place . . . it is not in GOD’s Will! Even when I look back on the times when I was at my worst, I can see where there was GODLY growth taken place. I remember those who came along and worked the soil (my heart), then planted the Word (JESUS) in my life. Then there were those who watered (Sunday School, Real Sermons, and Bible Study) to help me understand! But it is GOD who gives us growth! It is GOD who grows everything from the mustard seed to the Holy Spirit that dwells within us!
Can you recognize the GODLY growth in your life today!!
