Seize it!
The planet Earth, which I made for you, is a daily picture of My Great Exchange process. Each day the Earth receives violence, the blood of violent acts, the destructive results of evil thoughts, words and actions of men, pollution, and deterioration from the curse of sin. In exchange, the Earth nourishes seeds sown within its soil or heart. New life rises up from within. This new Life from Me then is taken in by you. Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize—a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Matthew 17:10 For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
