How often do we depend on ourselves for that ‘thing’, instead of depending on God? We’re diving into this today.

This episode hits on many things, like self-sufficiency, and our trust and provision of God. It’s chock full of ponder points for our own lives!

Do you depend more on God or yourself?
How do you depend on God?

What does that look like?

1. Surrender the thing…. Finances, relationships…
2. Trust in the Lord… not self
3. Be patient in waiting … baby steps

God is Our: Strength, Refuge, Rock, Stronghold and so much more!

Does that ‘thing’ keep bothering you? Keep coming back to your mind? Hear what scripture says - and how scripture can help us with those thoughts.

Dependence on God allows the Spirit to work in us. Keep trusting and depending on God to experience freedom from those things that are weighing you down.

Harvest happens every year. Harvest is also referenced at least 50 times in the Bible!

Do you know about the hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" that speaks to God’s faithfulness, and how His faithfulness is shown in the seasons, including harvest?

God talks about harvest in both a literal and Spiritual sense in the Bible. He uses nature, including harvest and sowing & reaping among many nature references.

In this episode, Bethany and Carol discuss the 7 laws of nature related to sowing and reaping, including related scripture references.

Sowing and Reaping

1. We reap only what has been sown.
2. We reap the same kind as we sow.
3. We reap in a different season than we sow.
4. We reap more than we sow.
5. We reap in portion to what we sow.
6. We reap the full harvest of good only if we persevere.
7. We can’t do anything about last year’s harvest.

What can you take away from the seeds planted in your life? What seeds can you plant in this next season of your life?

Fun share: Learn what “Mind your own bobber” means. :)
