READ
1 Corinthians 3:6-9
6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. 7 It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.

REFLECT
God’s work involves a wide variety of individuals with differing gifts and abilities. We can all be useful to God and His work. The key is to remember that we work WITH God to accomplish His will for our lives. It’s a partnership! However, it is also important to remember that GOD is the one who makes the seed grow. So, He deserves all the glory, praise, and honor!
