Okay, call me lazy or call me devoted, but I like listening to the Bible on my computer (I love the Bible Experience, you all should get it), and got to Leviticus 19:19 talking about not mixing things together and of course brings us to why we're reading this. I found it interesting that God made this a commandment, I mean, I've seen some beautiful hybrid flowers and tasted some good fruits and veggies that were mixed together as seeds and of course I said, God did a great job at this...lol. But thinking on it, I understand why because different seeds have different seasons, I will say it again, different seeds have different seasons. A professional farmer or a good gardener knows that sometimes planting two seeds at one time will affect what grows i.e, chili plants will make fruit spicy, cucumbers will make watermelons taste like cucumbers, and so many other combinations. The gist of it is, if one thing is expected but has a different result then the work done for it has been in vain therefore no one can sell it and no one can taste it and that whole process has been wasted and now we are behind.
I know we like to multitask and combine this goal with that goal but there is a reason why oranges are oranges and apples are apples: they require their own attention to produce them and it is the same for our goals. I'm a writer and an actor and some other stuff too but I can't focus on trying to write a poem in the middle of the scene or quote Hamlet while I'm reciting a poem about how cute rabbits are, that would be awkward and out of place.
I looked up this site, http://www.pastorpauley.com/tzedekah/articles/Leviticus19_19.pdf, talking about the benefits of planting one seed at a time and a few highlights for having as he put it, heirloom seed is that (1) tastes better, (2) more consistent performance, (3) better nutrition, and (4) a continuous harvest. See what God is trying to bring us too: all the dreams and visions He put in us can happen if we are patient and do the necessary steps in the one season we are in now and not having to cram season three and season four into season one (it doesn't work with our dvr's so it certainly won't work with God's plan for us). Jesus even said that mixing different wine with different bottles ruins everything (Mark 2:22). Therefore, we have to be patient in the things that God has given us and trust in Him to give us what we need in our apple season the same way He did in our carrot season. There will always be seed time and harvest time just be sure not to have both hands full because you are sure to drop everything (Ecclesiastes 4:6).
