THE PRINCIPLE OF SOWING AND REAPINGAs long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat; winter and summer, day and night. Gen 8:22 CEV In the first book of the Bible, early on, God establishes the principal of seedtime and harvest. And then in the New Testament, we are told this principal of sowing and reaping is extended to the unseen realm as well: Those who sow to please their sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; those who sow to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Gal 6:7-8 TNIVEVERY ACTION IS A SEED SOWN
Every action we take is a seed sown that will bring a harvest in due time. Some seeds sprout quicker than others. Some harvest times come long after the seeds are forgotten. But the principle is certain: we will reap from what we sow. That which is motivated by our selfish desires cannot bring forth anything good; that which is corrupt can only begat corruption. On the other hand, seeds sown in faith and obedience will result in a good harvest, a harvest of spiritual blessings. THE MORE WE SOW, THE MORE WE REAP
There’s one more thing that needs to be said about seedtime and harvest: the more we sow, the more we reap, whether good or bad. What we give out will come back to us. If we are generous with others, they will be generous to us. The measure with which we scatter abroad is the measure of our return. Remember this saying, "A few seeds make a small harvest, but a lot of seeds make a big harvest." 2Co 9:6 CEV Photo by Stu Seeger @Flickr
