Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Stephen Covey in his book, Speed of Trust, says, “The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today.”
In business and in life, the fruit is the best part of planting seeds. Yet, fruit takes time to grow. In order for fruit to grow, it takes watering, tending, pruning and waiting.
The Apostle Paul planted many seeds for the sake of the gospel. 1 Corinthians 3:6 says, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.”
Instead of wishing seeds of growth had been planted, remember today is the best day to start planting new seeds. Although the outcome is in the hands of the Lord, planting is in the hands of the worker. Now is the best time to plant.
