1 Samuel chapter 18 - the Bible says that Saul was very angry at the song he was displeased and

because they had credited David with tens of thousands and he thought with me they've only credited me with only thousands what more can he get but the kingdom

and from that day the Bible says Saul kept a close eye on David.

Friends, I've realized that we become dissatisfied because a lot of times

we're focusing on the gift we have been given in comparison with what someone else has and that takes our eyes away from the giver of the gift.

Saul became disturbed because David was chanted through the streets as the anointed one

but you see David's anointing didn't mean Saul was not anointed

don't be blinded by someone else's gift that you don't see that the giver of the gift has also given you something.

Think about it, Jesus chose the boat of Simon and He didn't mean that the other boat was useless

if you read further you realize how useful the other boat was

it represented partnership and collaboration in the harvest of souls

lost people must be saved, saved people must be pastored.

pastored people must be trained, trained people must be sent

and everyone has their place functioning in their gift and there's a place for you.

Some people are wounded for a lifetime because of the injury caused by comparison

they measure their value by what they have received as gifts but

guess what the giver is wiser.

We sometimes desire what we can't handle just because we have seen it with someone we perceive are like us

if you realize that the giver is wiser, you'll be glad that you have

what you have, I tell you because what you have is relevant and it's relevant in God's eyes

but sometimes is not relevant in your eyes because you're seeing the seed while God is looking at the harvest

you see a seed, God sees the tree that produces more seeds that produces more trees

and sometimes we throw the seed away because we prayed for a tree and this seed doesn't match our expectations but the vineyard that you prayed for can be in the seed that you're rejecting.

God is a giver of small things but his small gifts have bigger effect and you need to realize that all that the harvest is, is the result of the seed

don't shout about the harvest and shy away from the seed

the enemy may not even be after your harvest, he may just be after the seed

so be careful what you throw away, be careful who you throw away

Be careful how you look at small beginnings.

Friends, it started with Abraham, Isaac passed it on, Jacob multiplied it

God looks at the harvest while sometimes you look at the seed. Be careful how you see what is with you

Have a blessed day friends!
