Your Seed Is Still Working
You may not see it yet, but your seed is still working!
If you’re tired, a little hopeless, or feeling down in the dumps, let me encourage you today—God is still at work beneath the surface.
The same God who took a seed of faith and made me a pediatrician can do the same for you.
From “No” to “Yes” — My Story
A few weeks ago, I shared how God turned my 'no' to medical school into a beautiful 'yes'. That story didn’t start with success—it began with a seed.
It began when I chose to believe God’s Word even when my circumstances didn’t agree. My pastor has been teaching about sowing and reaping, and one thing has never been clearer: every breakthrough begins with a seed of faith—God’s Word planted in the heart.
Psalm 5:12 - The Favor That Surrounds You
“For You, LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.”
Psalm 5:12 (NKJV)
This verse reminds me that I am righteous through Jesus. Because of Him, I walk in divine favor that surrounds me like a shield.
You don’t earn that favor—it’s your inheritance in Christ! When you choose to believe God’s Word, even when it looks impossible, you are sowing faith into the soil of His promises.
How to Keep Your Faith Seed Growing
Seeds don’t sprout overnight. They grow first in the dark, beneath the surface—where no one can see. But God is still working!
Here’s how to keep tending your seed of faith:
✅ Keep sowing — Speak God’s Word daily over your life.
✅ Keep watering — Keep showing up even when it’s hard.
✅ Keep believing — Trust His promises, not your feelings.
✅ Keep praising — Worship while you wait.
✅ Keep expecting — Your harvest will come in due season.
Your Seed Strategy
The world will try to feed you doubt, fear, and impatience—but God has already given you the strategy for growth:
Speak His Word. Believe His truth. Keep showing up.
When you sow the Word of God, you invite Him to breathe life into what seems buried. Your seed will not die in the dirt—it’s preparing to bloom in the light.
So save this reminder, and work your seed!
Please share it with someone who needs a little hope today.
