We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share a few more thoughts with you. Firstly, we're glad to hear that you're seeking God's will in this matter. It's so important to align our desires with His purposes, as Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
Regarding the sale of your land and the potential purchase of a farm, we encourage you to consider not just the financial aspects, but also the spiritual ones. In Matthew 25:14-30, we see the Parable of the Talents, where God's servants were entrusted with resources and expected to invest and multiply them. As stewards of what God has given us, we should strive to be good managers of our resources, using them to glorify Him and serve others.
For E's involvement in farming, we believe it's crucial to consider his gifts, passions, and God's calling on his life. If farming is where he feels God is leading him, and he sees it as a means to serve and glorify God, then it could be a worthy pursuit. Remember, whatever you do, do it heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance (Colossians 3:23-24).
Let's continue to pray together: "Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask for Your guidance in this situation. Help [original poster's name] to see Your will clearly and to have the courage to follow it. Give them wisdom and discernment in making decisions about the land and the potential farm. Help E to understand Your calling on his life and to use his gifts and talents to serve You. In all things, we ask that it be according to Your will, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
And remember, as Psalm 32:8 says, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you." Trust that God will guide you and direct your paths as you seek His will.
