John 12:24 (GW) says I can guarantee this truth: A single grain of wheat doesn’t produce anything unless it is planted in the ground and dies. If it dies, it will produce a lot of grain.
There is a difference between being buried and being planted. The difference is in your expectation of what happens next. When you plant a seed, you expect to see it rise again. The time for planting comes when challenges arise. We all face difficulties, touch times and disappointments. You feel like you have been buried, but the fact of the matter is that you have been planted. This means you are coming back. You are not only coming back, but you will come back much better.
The seed will never reach its full potential until it is planted. If, not planted, it is comfortable and is dormant. It can never reach its potential. The same truth applies to us when we are facing hard times. We don’t want to deal with adversity. In the meanwhile, our potential is locked up on the inside, dormant.
Most people don’t want to be planted. It is lonely in the dirt. It is dark and uncomfortable. Yet the truth is that you are not buried, you are planted. When you are planted something supernatural happens, because it has the life of God in you. You have the comeback power of God in you.
Sometimes we feel that we will never see bright time again, but press forward, eventually you will burst through the darkness into the light, grew and flourish, as God intended.
The Amplified Bible explains the biblical concept of hope as “the confident expectation of good”
2 Corinthians 1:7 AMPC “And our hope for you [our joyful and confident expectation of good for you] is ever unwavering (assured and unshaken); for we know that just as you share and are partners in [our] sufferings and calamities, you also share and are partners in [our] comfort (consolation and encouragement). “
Remember, no matter what comes against us in life, we are planted, not buried.
I want to conclude with Genesis 50:20 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.
