| Working With God received from Dick Chang via Bobby Chen |
A farmer purchases an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a
thriving enterprise. The fields are grown over with weeds, the farmhouse is falling
apart, and the fences are collapsing all around.
During his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man's work,
saying, "May you and God work together to make this the farm of your dreams!"
A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the farmer. Lo and
behold, it's like a completely different place -- the farmhouse is completely rebuilt
and in excellent condition, there are plenty of cattle and other livestock happily
munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted
in neat rows.
"Amazing!" the preacher says. "Look what God and you have accomplished
together!"
"Yes, Reverend," says the farmer, "but remember what the farm was like when
God was working it alone!"
