Matthew 13: 37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels."
I was looking for the kingdom of heaven this morning... I found this particular passage in my search. This is a good reminder to me today that I need not worry about the weeds... He has already taken care of that... He has appointed harvesters who have the job of sorting things out in His time... that isn't my job.
Allow me to rest in this today.
This makes me think of a particular piece of artwork that was formed by a woman at the EOW weekend I attended recently. She had taken a rectangular prism of green modeling clay and formed a leaf-like shape. She made one side rippled and the other a smooth curve. She said that it represented the shoreline where the ocean meets the sand. She had carved the word "Neither" in the piece. When she described the work, she mentioned that she was neither the Alpha nor the Omega... made me ponder a truth which allows me to rest.
