Evening: Psalm 22; Matthew 11:1-6
You
may spend your life pursuing a dream only to realize that it’s going to
take longer than you have. Like a ninety-five year old man I once met
planting asparagus, which takes 5 years to yield. Or like the beautiful
avenue of oak trees that fulfil the vision of a farmer who planted
acorns there 100 years ago. Some plant seeds that others will water.
John the Baptist only needed to hear that Jesus was continuing his
work. Labour in a just cause is never in vain; others will tend your
seeds when you cannot. So plant them anyway.
