God Calls Us His Field

Metaphor: God’s Field
Concept: God is actively involved in our lives just as the vinedresser tends his vines or the farmer tends to his crop throughout the day.
1 Cor 3:9; For we are fellow workmen (joint promoters, laborers together) with and for God; you are God's garden and vineyard and field under cultivation, [you are] God's building.  [Isa 61:3.] AMP
Isa 61:3; So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. NASU

Those who have Jesus as their savior have God as the one who oversees and is actively involves in their lives even as the vinedresser, or farmer tends to his vines or crop throughout the day.

If you have ever done any farming, gardening or had fruit trees or vineyard you know that they do best when they have plenty of tender love and care along with water and sunshine. Our lives when left to ourselves have a less than healthy track record of success.

People who only check in with God on Sunday are missing more than they can imagine.

Today I encourage you to seek God. His word in Hebrews 11:6 says that He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. Seek Him today, He is waiting for you!
