For the past few days, I've been reading this book entitled The Indestructible Seed by Bob Hoskins. While I was reading this book, it has really struck me that we should go out and reach out. We are the sowers and we should plant the seed. The harvesting we should leave unto God to handle it. When we share the Gospel with our friends and they don't straight away accept Christ as their Lord and Saviour, we should not be discouraged but leave it to the Lord to handle it. As long as we plant the seed, we will see it harvest soon.
The Bible is like an Indesturctible Seed. No matter what happens to us, the Word of God will continue to stand strong. In Luke 21:33 - Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by ni means pass away. God's word will always be with us forever!
Century follows century - There it stands
Empires rise and fall and are forgotten - There it stands
Dynasty succeeds dynasty - There it stands
Kings are crowned and uncrowned - There it stands
Emperors decree its extermination - There it stands
Despised and torn to pieces - There it stands
Stors of hate swirl about it - There it stands
Atheists rail against it - There it stands
Agnostics smile cynically - There it stands
Profane prayer-less punsters caricature it - There it stands
Unbelief abandons it - There it stands
Higher critics deny its claim to inspiration - There it stands
Thunderbolts of wrath smite it - There it stands
An anvil that has broke a million hammers - There it stands
The flames of kindled about it - There it stands
The arrows of hate are discharged against it - There it stands
Radicalism rants and raves about it - There it stands
Fogs of sophistry conceal it temporarily - There it stands
The tooth of time gnaws but dents it not - There it stands
Infidels predict its abandonment - There it stands
It is God's highway to Paradise
It is the light on the pathway in the darkest night
It leads businessmen to integrity and uprightness
It is the great consoler in bereavement
It awakens men and wome opiated by sin
It answers every great problem of life
It is a fortress often attacked but never failing
Its wisdom is commanding and its logic convincing
Salvation is its watch word. Eternal Life its goal
It puntures all pretense
It is forward-looking, outward-looking, and upward-looking
It outlives, outlifts, outreaches, outranks, outruns all other books
Trust it, love it, obey it, and Eternal Life is yours!
By the late Dr. A.Z. Conrad
