What a wonderful site that was. Farmers have to hold their breath a lot you know. This year they do not. They will have to keep their hand to the plow:
Luke 9: 62
Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back (to the things behind) is fit for the kingdom of God.
There are so many different ways to apply this to our lives, isn't there? Do not look back at the weather last year. I get picked on for doing that some times. I just think it is interesting to see how things change. Some do it, because they want to stay back there in the past. Some do it, because want to compare how different things are now. Jesus is saying very clearly, we are to move forward with His plan for our life. No need to look back. This is now, that was then! I am highly impacted today about how God has a plan for each one of our lives. Think about that! Did you, do you see yourself living His plan for you? Do you know what it was He had planned? Maybe you are living it right now! Maybe you are not sure if you are. I have not been home two days and between phone calls and emails, I am bombarded with "What happened to my life, I can't catch a break?" "What did I do wrong, what wrong road did I go down?" "This can't be what God planned for me, what am I going to do?" "Why are these people doing this to us, why would God plan this kind of assault?"
Difficult times, but a clear message. Stop, pray, and listen. Some are being assaulted for their ministry for God. Some have made bad choices in their lives. Jesus is still saying, keep your hand to my plow. Do not look back. "Fix Your Future So That It Does Not Reflect Your Past!" If you are praying, listening, and applying - hang onto the plow. Jesus is at the same plow you are. He is the head oxen. Let Him lead. He does not fail, abandon, or forsake you. He is the best farmer, shepherd you will ever have.
