So, we are meant to sow seed and expect that some of it will land on good soil and produce a harvest, right?

We are meant to plant and water and then wait for God to give growth, right?

Only what if he doesn’t?

What if it seems that most or all of the seed lands on hard soil?

What then?

Well, we could pray (and we should pray). It really is God that gives growth.

But is there anything else we can do that improves our odds of getting good soil (apart from moving to an easier field)?

There is.

It’s a command that God gave to Adam in Genesis 2.

Cultivate.
