Trusting God with the Results

Sharing the Gospel can feel overwhelming when you think the results are up to you. But here’s the truth: your job is to plant the seed. God’s job is to make it grow.

Paul wrote this verse to the church in Corinth, where people were arguing over who was the better teacher—Paul or Apollos. Paul reminded them that it’s not about the messenger; it’s about God’s power. The same is true for you. You don’t have to convince anyone to follow Jesus. Just be faithful to share, and trust God to do the rest.

Sometimes, you may not see the results of your efforts right away—or ever. But that doesn’t mean your work was in vain. God is always working, even when you can’t see it.

The church in Corinth struggled with division, often placing too much emphasis on human leaders. Paul redirected their focus to God, the true source of growth and transformation.

Reflect on a time when you planted a seed of faith in someone’s life. Even if you didn’t see the outcome, trust that God is working. Pray for the courage to keep planting seeds, knowing that He is the one who brings the harvest.
