When God says...
“In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.” (Proverbs 14:23 NKJV)
He affirms all our labors will not be wasted. It will always produce fruits. We should not just sit and chatter, which lead only to tattered couch. There is action in faith needed to be done. It is a triad cooperation with the seed, the ground and us, under God's grace. We, as active agent of planting, are to sow seeds both physical and spiritual (the Word of God), in the ground and in the hearts of men and women. Efforts consecrated to God lead to blessings. "... for in due season, we will reap, if we will not give up. (Galatians 6:9a NIV).
Yes, the quality of the ground (the condition of our heart) may affect our harvest. But, it has nothing to do with the seed and our labor. The seed is good-it is of God, and our labor is not in vain-it is a labor of rest in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith in Him. The quality of the ground? We should have it soaked with the the Word of God. And, let's not get tired, as Apostle Paul urges us with these words: "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. "(1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!

(When God says... I say, AMEN! is a provocative reflection of the Lord's holy Word. It intends to challenge every seeker of truth to dig deep into the core of the Word of Life to point every being to Christ Jesus - the author and finisher of our faith, and to draw revelations for change, for nourishment and for strength of every soul.)
