       Now, the farmer can walk outside, get upset, and shake his pitchfork, hoe, or whatever he has in his hand at the field, but it isn’t going to do any good. He can go outside in the storm and shake his fist at God because he doesn’t see his crop, but that’s only going to hurt things. He’s just going to be miserable and God probably wont want to help him with that attitude. And remember, even though we don’t see what is going on under the soil, often times the crop is growing. We have to use our faith that what we are speaking is making a different for the future. Another way you can think of it is like when you are getting in shape. You may walk everyday for one week, and see no results when you look in the mirror. You may even walk for two weeks straight, everyday, and still see no changes back in the mirror. But by the third week of walking, you’re probably going to notice your body taking a healthier shape. And it will get better and better as time continues. And so it is with speaking God’s Word. It just may take longer than ‘weeks,’ but be patient.
