Hebrews 6:7, "For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated l, receives blessing from God..." nAdvancing forward in the Christian life demands diligent effort. God will grow and mature us, but we must do our part and not be lazy but apply ourselves to the spiritual resources that God has given to us. We have God's promises and God's resources available to us. We must exercise the faith and patience and claim these promises for ourselves! nA farmer will not reap a harvest by sitting on the porch looking at the seed. He must get to work cultivating the soil, planting the seed, weeding the garden, and so forth. The believer who neglects church fellowship, ignores his Bible, and forgets to pray will not reap much of a harvest and eventually weeds of sin and doubt will take over starving out the spiritual crop of his life. Let us be diligent to seek the Lord laying our lives at His feet for His purposes!
