Matthew 6:33 KJV
• But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. –
• DAILY READING John 8:21-47; 2 Chronicles 2:17-5:1; Malachi 1:1-2:9
To preserve plant species from total extinction, a seed vault has been built in the cold region of Arctic Norway. The vault, dug deep in the permafrost of a remote mountain, is located 620 miles from the North Pole. The purpose of the frozen vault is to protect samples of the world’s seeds from extinction. There, the seeds of plants will be preserved so that they don’t totally disappear from the earth. Before now, many seed species have already become extinct. This vault can store up to 4.5 million seed samples. It’s a backup to the world’s other 1,400 seed banks. The seeds kept there are preserved by the coldness of the North pole from corruption.
There is need to preserve these seeds because once they are corrupted and destroyed they become extinct never to be seen again.
But while physical seeds are corruptible, and have need for preservation, the Bible tells us of a seed which will never have need for preservation. That is the incorruptible seed of The Word of God. The seed of The Word is a seed which we never have to bother about its preservation, because it will never decay, disappear or grow extinct. While the unpreserved seeds of the world may be disappearing, the seed of The Word of God abides forever.
And most importantly when this seed of The Word is in us it also keeps us from corruption. The seed of The Word within us is a preserver of life and destiny. Just as The Word is incorruptible and indestructible when you are full of The Word you also become incorruptible and indestructible.
The incorruptible seed of The Word in you, keeps you from decaying, or descending into sin.
Psalm 119:11 says ‘Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.’
The seed of The Word of God inside of us keeps us from sin.
1 John 3:9 says ‘Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.’
Do you therefore want to overcome sinful habits, then begin to store up The Word of God in your heart. Every struggle with sin will come to an end when the incorruptible seed of God’s Word dominates your heart. When you are filled with The Word, you will find that you lose the desire for sin. New strength will enter into you. The divine incorruptible nature of Christ will swallow up your weak and carnal tendencies. Mortality will be swallowed up by immortality and you will find yourself living an incorruptible life of purity and holiness.
PRAYER: Lord, By Your word I am preserved from corruption. I shall never be contaminated by the evil in the world. By Your Word at work in me, I am more than a conqueror in Jesus Name. .. ..
