Which one of the four key elements for preparing the soil do you think is the hardest and why?

Joy is not a place you arrive at, it is a garden you tend to daily. Preparing for the Seasons - 1. Consult the Guidebook [Bible] Daily 2. Consult, Communicate, and Trust the Master Gardener 3. Don’t listen to the Enemy, Know the Guidebook 4. Have Faith and Trust in the Plan Created for you by the Master Gardener 5. In every season find JOY and Thanksgiving in the ever-growing garden These are backed up by scriptures in today's lesson. I know that we will focus on them all, but which one seems to be one you will begin to really focus on more during the next six weeks?

This is a little longer lesson today (2 pages for the examples) because this is key in every season. The enemy is big into planting weeds in your path and this one needs to be called out and exposed so we can squash that weed. The lie is that small blessings are not really blessings or that we were not worth or faithful enough for big blessing's. Plus, those small blessings should not be celebrated it was just a mistake or a coincidence. Well, our Guidebook shows us that some of the greatest work the Master Gardener does in our lives is in the simple, small blessings He gives us along the way and each one is amazing and warrants rejoicing and celebrating. Our obedience, faith, appreciation and stewardship over the small things leads to bigger things. Some of the most faithful and obedient people in the Guidebook were given tiny things to show that anything the Master Gardener gives us is a blessing and just as important as the big things. A gift is a gift. After you read the examples, can you see that we need to be looking for the small blessings more and more? He has joy for us in the whispers, the tiny clouds, the almond blooms, and the subtle steps leading us to Him and growing us step by tiny step. 🙌🙌🙌

Here is just another reminder of the 4 key elements covered in the Introduction to keep close to your heart as you begin this study. In every season, you can see the small joys, blessings, and promises given to you by the Lord that brings you closer to Him. You can better respond to the call on your life and the lesson or change that is coming if you discover what season you are in at that time. Knowing your season allows you to stand on those God-given promises and begin to grow. Finally, when you know the season you are in, you can begin to apply those promises in His Word and seek His direction to build your Faith and grow even more Fruit of the Spirit. Let's get started...Happy Week 1! ♥️🩷♥️
