Have You A Dinosaur’s Egg?
In a certain museum in New York there are a couple of dinosaur’s eggs on view. This exhibit appeals to the imagination. Visitors say, “Those eggs were laid millions of years ago, and here they are today untouched!” These people are apt to overlook the fact that for the dinosaur in question they represent complete failure. After all the trouble of laying those eggs nothing ever came of them.
It is surprising how many otherwise intelligent men and women waste the best days of their lives laying dinosaur’s eggs that never hatch out. Either through lack of energy, or lack of intelligent planning, or failure to make God a partner, or more often sheer muddle headedness, they lay an excellent egg and then stroll away and forget it. Do not start a plan unless you really think it is worthwhile, do not rest until you have brought it to fruition.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62).
It is not how many seeds we plant or how many eggs we lay that is most essential. That which matters most is how well we care for the seeds planted and eggs laid. The planting and laying are only the first steps; the success of the seed or egg will depend upon its value and how much work we put into it.
Planting and caring,
