But as the pastor said in yesterday\u2019s message, we have two jobs: plant and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telling people what Jesus did and does for us plants seeds in their hearts. As they explore and ask questions, those seeds get watered. Sometimes we plant the seeds, sometimes we water them, but we don\u2019t always do both. But we can\u2019t do either if we don\u2019t speak the truth of the Savior in our lives.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minute I said, \u201cI love Jesus,\u201d the man beside me said, \u201cAmen, Sister. My aunt thinks I\u2019m lost, but I\u2019m not. I love Jesus through and through.\u201d Immediately, my hesitation left me as my new friend started watering the seeds I planted. And I took delight in God\u2019s commandment that says if you deny Me (Matthew 10:33). I\u2019ll deny you; I don\u2019t want God ever to deny me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take delight in God\u2019s commands as you put them into practice and watch Him work miracles in your life and those around you. Only when you do can you experience the divine delight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Prayer:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Lord,<br>Thank You for divine strength to speak of Your testimonies and delight in Your law.
