I grow hot peppers. I usually take the seed from a pepper the previous year and let it dry out and put it in a dark place and when it comes time to plant the next year I pull it out and put it in a plant starting kit. What I have noticed is that even though I take the same care with all my seeds, I water them, I give them sunlight, this year I even started putting them on a heating pad. Yet even with all this care, sometimes the seed doesn't germinate and nothing grows. It would really seems silly to blame God or even dwell on the question of why in this situation. However when we pray and pray for an outcome and do everything we are supposed to and things still don't turn out the way we think they should, sometimes we can get stuck on the question of why. Why is a question that can not be answered, it can even bring you to a point of questing God and his motives or his plan. This is never our place. Our job is to plant the seed, water them and make sure they have everything they need to grow.
We can never make a seed grow, and we can never make a situation turn out the way we think it should. We must trust God. He is the only one who holds the answer to why, and He is the only one who can make the seed grow.
1Cr 3:6 NIV - I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow.
