The Lord provideth the increase...

Tara and I were helping my Grandmother-in-law "Mama D" plant her begonias. She shared some gardener theology with us: You can sow the seed, water the seed, and fertalize the seed; but it's the Lord who provideth the increase. I believe this is an appropriate persepective for how we view our own efforts, achievements, and successes. For all our efforts towards growth, it's the Lord that provides us with our increase. We are entirely indebted to him.
