He enjoyed eating boiled maize but had never had a big cob all to himself. He wanted to eat all to himself. After planting the seed, he dutifully watered it and went inside the house. He was anxious to eat his maize that he waited for 30mins which seemed like an eternity to him and then went out to check whether the plant had germinated. He saw no sign whatsoever, so he dug it up to see what was wrong with it. After inspecting the seed he replanted it and went back, this process continued for the next 2 days. His constant anxiety and interference in the process of the seed’s growth prevented it from germinating. His anxiety turned into frustration, he then concluded that what he had learnt at school did not work after all so he threw the seed away. This paints a picture of a person who prays with a lot of anxiety. Move from the point of anxiety to that of faith ,if the boy had understood the whole process of germination, he would simply have continued watering his seed with the firm knowledge that the seed was receiving the nourishment it needed. He would have trusted in the ability of the seed to produce fruit of its own accord and in its time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tribewithavibe" group.
