In this sermon Anticipation Of The Word,  we learn to bring our best to God and see what God will do.  What we have been doing is we have been planting seeds! We have been laying aside our best effort (seed) and we are offering it to God.  We are not just planting for the sake of planting, but we are anticipating a harvest! God doesn't see us for where we are today. but He sees what we shall become! We don't exactly know what God is going to do with our efforts, but God knows. How do we become good ground? Stay in the Word! Don't get distracted! Don't let anybody come between you and God! Study to show yourself approved, a workman unto God who needeth not be ashamed, right dividing the word of Truth!
