Hosea 6:3 CSB
Let’s strive to know the Lord.
His appearance is as sure as the dawn.
He will come to us like the rain,
like the spring showers that water the land.


>> How We Plant When It’s Dark:

1. Know what you’re planting.

2. the seed, even when you don’t know how it will .

Mark 4:26-29 CSB
[Jesus said,] “The kingdom of God is like this,” he said. “A man scatters seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn’t know how. The soil produces a crop by itself—first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain on the head. As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

3. Keep your on the planting.

Ecclesiastes 11:4 CSB
One who watches the wind will not sow,
And the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.

4. Keep , always.

Ecclesiastes 11:6
In the morning sow your seed,
and at evening do not let your hand rest,
because you don’t know which will succeed,
whether one or the other,
or if both of them will be equally good.

5. Be .

James 5:7-8 CSB
Therefore, brothers and sisters, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.

6. at the harvest.

Psalm 126:5-6 CSB
Let those who wept as they planted their crops,
gather the harvest with joy!
Those who wept as they went out carrying the seed
will come back singing for joy,
as they bring in the harvest.

7. the field!
