Grounded Grains

 “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” John 12:24 NKJV

We all know that only grounded grains can bear flourishing fruits for the benefit of the system; but we most often prefer the use of gainful grains through our trust in micromanaging. To show that we are fully in-charge of the situation and circumstance, we have come up with intelligent standards, schemes, schedulers, and automation systems for proper monitoring, accountability, and control. And in the absence of any conflicting counsel from God in the use of these human intelligence, systems that are governed by these gainful grains often do well with justice, productivity, accountability. Unfortunately, the use of human intelligence are readily corrupted, unstable, and not always straightforward. Therefore, human’s gainful grains for career development, family accomplishments, and social relevance must be grounded by divine guidance for consistent productivity and relevance in life. For example, when Saul gave up his intelligence on the strategy for sorting out the loss of his father’s donkey, he became grounded by the Spirit of the Lord for the service of the kingdom of Israel. Grounded grains may take time out of the sight of the people, they are always in tune with God and the declaration of His will; they offer the only way to true productivity.
