In this verse to the church in Corinth, Paul is not talking about planting flower seeds, but about planting the seed of the Gospel. He uses an illustration they would understand from everyday life about planting and growth to remind us all that we each have a specific task to do. Our job is to be faithful to share the Gospel, the good news, about Jesus Christ - how His birth, life, death, and resurrection offer hope to any who would bow their knee and admit their need of a Savior.
Perhaps today is the day to plant the seed. Maybe it is your turn to water the truths that someone else shared yesterday. Do your part and wait in anticipation of God making it grow! For then the new believer becomes another worker with us is sharing the Gospel, and the planting cycle begins again as they share their faith in the forgiveness offered through Christ.
One body, many parts, all here to glorify God.
