Glory Seed Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

These daily devotionals are brought to you by Gary Piper, a writer with our Sister Site, Natural Spirit Ministries. TheologyWeb encourages you to visit and support their site.... they have many informative articles which can be discussed right here. If you enjoy Gary Piper's devotionals, please send him an encouraging note or post. We are very appreciative of our partnership with Natural Spirit Ministries and look forward to many more co-ventures.

  • Glory Seed Garden, 2018.04.25

    Planting Seeds of Faith in God’s Garden…
    There are gardens, then there is the Garden of the LORD…
    Shalom!


    “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:9) I hope King Solomon will not be upset with me if I disagree with him. He writes there is nothing new under the sun, but what about this? “This came from the LORD; it is wondrous in our sight. This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:23–24)

    The problem with nothing new under the sun is today is a new day. There has never been a April 25, 2018 and there will never be another either. “This is the day the LORD has made…” While it is true today holds some old “stuff” it is also a treasure hold of new experiences, new adventures, new “stuff.” Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Will today be the day when your prayers are answered? Will today be the day you find yourself finding a new career? Will today be the day you find yourself facing a storm thrust on you? Will today be the day when the LORD takes you home? Today is a day of endless possibilities as we look to God for the life coming forth out of the unknown.

    One of the problems with today is it is not enough. We need tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day. The problem with that is there may not be a next day. While the possibilities of the next day are as endless as today the next day is not a sure thing. Like Jesus said, “Therefore don’t worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:34) And this, “,,,on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11)

    Do you remember the song “One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I am asking from you.”? Better advice has never been given especially in a world that is racing faster than a New York minute! One of the beauties of a garden is time seems to slow down allowing us to slow ourselves down and “smell the roses” taking time to be with God, to be still, to listen, to experience the endless possibilities He as prepared for us.

    I come to the Glory Seed Garden alone, while the dew is still on the ground, and the voice I hear falling on my ear is the Word of God talking to me.

    God is not only the Author of new days, He is also the Author of new “stuff” live in today yet do not anticipate what has not happened yet, God is also the God of Surprises!

    Jesus… Don’t face the future without Him!

    Grace and PEACE,
    Gary

    Crusty, as so often happens when I decide to tune into your Glory Seeds again, this Glory Seed comes at just the right time for me to absorb the message. God bless you for such a wonderful Glory Seed!
    3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (borrowed with gratitude from 37818's sig)
