Sowing and Reaping: Part 2

Nobody living in the face of the Earth can escape from the principle of sowing and reaping. All living things in this whole world function on this principle.

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.

Genesis 8:22
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

In a way, seasons and climatic change occur paving the way for seedtime and harvest to take place in order to sustain life on Earth.

Ecclesiastes 3:2
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,

Acts 17:26
From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.

Psalm 126:5-6
Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

The sowing period could be a time of adversity, scarcity and sacrifice due to which one may be in tears; but when the time of harvest comes, it’s a joyous time.
If you’re currently in a time of sowing, it could be painful as you see nothing that you desire to see. The person who sows would be giving away all that he/she has (or may have even borrowed the seeds due to shortage of money/resources) and returns home empty. There’s no song coming forth, no gladness in that season. But as months pass by, and when the same person who sowed the seeds gets to see those seeds yield crop in that field - that sight brings immense joy to his/her heart.

Here’s something more important: You will reap only if you sow!

Prayer is an act of sowing, but a time is coming when what you sowed in prayer will bring in a harvest of praise reports!

Every seed contains mysteriously written codes by the hand of God to produce its own kind. Had not God implemented seedtime and harvest at the time of creation, what would Earth have been like? Mankind would have ended with the first couple that God made and He’d have had to make another man and woman. But God blessed Adam and Eve and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Plant one seed today and you'll get hundreds of seeds in the days to come!
