Plant the Seed

Luke 4:30 But He passed right through the crowd and went on His way.

While Jesus was in Nazareth he read the scroll written by the Prophet Isaiah. During his time there he began to tell the people truths about about history and the people did not like it. He was driven out of town for what he was speaking then they were about to push Him off of a cliff but then we find verse 30 when he passes through them and goes somewhere else to speak the truth.

The truth is not always popular. The truth is not always the thing everyone want to hear. But just as it is written in Luke 4. We must speak the truth and be on our way. In other words, plant a seed but move on and plant the next one. If the farmer stands and waits to see the one seed grow he will not have time to plant the rest of his crop and will not produce a great harvest. People might not always want to hear the good news of Christ but it must be shared and instead of debating and arguing we must know what we believe, plant the seed and be on our way.

Lord, help me to know the right seed to plant and when to plant it. Help me know to belabor Your word but be willing to plant the seed and move on. This year help me to be more bold in my faith to share it with others. Help me to speak the truth with out exaggeration or manipulation.
