Daniel 2:22
He makes known the secrets that are deep and hidden.
He knows what is hidden in darkness and light lives within him.
Many of the good things you do are done in secret. You are not boastful or arrogant about your charitable contributions or personal sacrifices.
You help others in ways they may never realize. You attend to the needs of your family and community without recognition or fanfare.
Sometimes you feel as if your efforts are unappreciated or even unwanted. There are times you believe you may be wasting your time and energy because you can’t see the fruits of your labor.
Thankfully, you have the Word of God and His wonderful creation to remind you that a seed hidden in the darkness is a harvest waiting to happen.
Seeds planted in soil remain unseen during the germination phase. In the dark, a seed breaks open and new life is formed. There is a waiting time before the shoot appears. There is another waiting time before the harvest comes.
In the same way, your good works and loving efforts may be often hidden in the dark for a time, but this doesn’t mean they remain unfruitful.
When the time is right, God brings your results into the light, much like the tiny plant which emerges from the dark soil. Your random acts of kindness and quiet loving gestures are no longer hidden in the darkness. The results become visible and each tiny sprout holds the promise of a bountiful harvest.
You may not always receive human recognition or praise for the contributions you make. Sometimes your good intentions may even be misunderstood. But God knows what is in your heart and He promises that someday you will enjoy a harvest which far exceeds your expectations.
