Earthworms and Fruit

” Have you ever wondered why God made a particular creature, like misquitos or snakes? I’ve often wondered about earthworms. Why did God form such creepy crawlers?”

Yes indeed most of us do know what wonderful things earthworms do, but have you ever looked at it this way?

” Actually, worms have an indispensiable function to fulfill… in an average acre of ground there are countless earthworms continually breaking up the soil. Their silent and invisible activity is absolutely essential- no worms, no vegetation. What, then, can we learn from eathworms? Not only in nature but also in our lives there are invisible forces at work. THere is the silent and unseen work of prayer by those who are concerned about our well-being. There is the work of our own spiritual discipline, as we pray and meditate on God’s Word. And there is the vital work of the HOly Spirit, breaking up the clogged soil of our souls and producing in us the Christlike fruit of ‘love, joy, peace, longsuffering…’ (Galatians 5:22-23)”

“God’s unseen work in our hearts produces fruit in our lives”

~from the Daily Bread book :3

“In our lives and in our world, God has ordained unseen influences that bear fruit. Whether it’s the lowly earthworm or the crown of God’s creation- the human race- there is so much more at work than meets the eye.”
