Sample Home Altar DevotionalFebruary 2008. Read Scripture: John 3:1-15 There is a saying in Russia: "Every seed knows its time." Similarly, every life knows its time. The life of a person, as the life of a seed, has a time to grow, develop, and bear fruit. This is true for the physical and spiritual worlds, In the spiritual realm, according to Jesus, "the Holy Spirit gives new life from heaven" (v.6). Moreover, Jesus promised, this earthly life will lead to the eternal life (v. 15). When our lives are open to the work of the Holy Spirit, we will also follow God's timing. Paraphrsing the words of the preacher of Ecclesiastes, there is a time to be born and grow, there is a time to bear fruit and be useful for God's kingdom. There is a time to receive and there is a time to give. There is a time for everything and every seed knows its time. Prayer: Lord, let your new life grow in us and bear much fruit for your glory. Amen. Written by Leonid Regheta from St. Petersburg, Russia. A fourth-generation underground church Christian who grew up in the persecuted church of the Soviet Union. Also a Covenant project missionary in St. Petersburg, Russia. |
