Seed for Sowing

Spread the love

Two-minute read.

Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 

2 Corinthians 9:10 

In God’s economy, generosity causes multiplication.  No one can outgive the Lord.  I know many who have tried, including myself. The more generous we become, the more our harvest increases. Everything we have comes from the Lord. We didn’t make the seeds that grew wheat and eventually made bread; God did. Receiving blessings from the Creator doesn’t mean hoarding; it means sharing.   

And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 

Luke 3:11 

John, preaching a baptism of repentance, tells the people to share with others what they have. By doing so, they show their repentance and faith in God. The Lord gives us seed to plant; the more we sow, the more we reap. Even with our tiniest efforts, God sees and blesses us. The more we give, the more we will want to give. The Creator multiplies our efforts, and planting seeds of righteousness will reap a bountiful harvest. One right act after another will cause us to receive God’s blessing, giving us more to share with others. 

One day, the Lord will call us home. We have a choice of how people remember us. Our actions create our legacy. Living a generous life, blessing others, sharing the love of Christ, and serving the Lord will leave a legacy far beyond our life on Earth. We harvest from the seeds we plant, and we have a choice of what we sow. 

Prayer: 

Lord, thank You for Your divine gifts. Please help us plant seeds of love everywhere we go, reaping a harvest of righteousness. Let us honor and serve You as we submit our lives to You one right action at a time. 

IJNIP. Amen
