Week 3: Learn from the Farmer
Rotate your crops.
Matthew 10: 7-14, Acts 13: 1-4
If you belong to a church or any organization it is easy to overlook this proverb. We all have routines and traditions. But, routines are meant to reflect efficient ways of doing things not exercises in futility. Traditions are meant to be celebrations of God’s goodness among us not limitations on that goodness.
As the land is eventually robbed of essential nutrients if the same crop is planted over and over again in the same field, we rob our church’s vitality when we don’t allow new things to be planted. We also take away from church vitality when we don’t mentor and train others to do what we do.
We do this not to catch a break but to have our faith stretched working with different people and doing something different from what we’ve done before. What new thing needs to be planned for in your life or in the life of your church? Who will you show how to do what you do?
