6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth.
7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.

We have been given a job to share the Gospel. It is not always easy, exciting or even fruit bearing... but it is what we are called to as believers. This passage reminds us that God is ultimately in control of the fruit. God has a plan for every soul on earth. We MUST play our part is spreading the Truth.
Later on in this chapter of I Corinthians, Paul talks about labor being tested as well. What we do for Christ will be shown to be worthy (Gold, Silver, Precious Gems) or self-serving and shallow (Wood, Hay, Straw). We are encouraged that this testing has nothing to do with our Salvation...nothing can take that away.
I don't know about you but I want to come out of the testing the same way I went in, with my building in tact! I will work diligently for His glory, but depend on God to produce growth...
