Based off of some of the things we heard from Louie this afternoon, my brain started processing. He specifically brought up the BIBLICAL idea of seeding and harvesting. Not the prosperty gospel form of giving money and watching the harvest of the church you gave to. No, this is the actual process in the Bible about the cyclical planting, harvesting, planting more, harvest, etc....
This brought to my mind much of what the Lord has taken me through in the last several months. Too many of my peers, and I am included in this group, have been brought up with a sense of entitlement. We believe that a college degree, or even more a master's degree, entitles us to something great. We forget that we do not get to be a VP of a company on our first day. As Louie talked about we must sow the initial seeds of this phase of life and eventuall harvest them. Then we sow more seed and harvest more crop from that. This is a continual process that we all go through during our entire lives. We must work and build the bridges, get the experiences, and sow the seed in our youth so that some day we actually can do all those things that God is calling us to do. Live faithfully to your calling and God will reward you at the harvest or the next cycle. You are entitled to very little, so stop expecting a whole lot.
