Daily Devotional
Are you pulling up your radishes by the roots?
September 19, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over. . . Luke 6:38
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
When God created the herbs of the field, He said, “Let them bring forth after their kind” (Genesis 1:12).
Whatever we sow, we’re going to reap. If you sow to the flesh, then you’re going to reap what you sow. On the other hand, if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap good things. You can’t even give a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple and lose your reward.
Every seed you plant for Jesus is going to sprout. Whatever it is you want, plant it, sow it, give it, “and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together.”
Too many of you are just going around pulling up your radishes by the roots, trying to see how they grow, then jamming them back in the ground again, and you don’t give God enough time to bring the crop in. Give Him time. It’s going to come in.
ACTION POINT:
Would you like to have better relationships? Then start sowing seeds of encouragement and good deeds.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
