Confidence in Growth
Can you be confident of future growth? Is it possible to predict future blessing and rewarding harvest in your life?
We grow the seeds we sow. We harvest what we plant. We receive from the labor we invest.
The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Corinth this encouragement, saying, “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (2 Corinthians 9:6 ESV).
When we plant the abundant seeds of God’s kingdom purpose and blessing, we will harvest an abundance of God’s kingdom purpose and blessing. We reap what we sow.
Paul exhorted the Galatian church of this truth, saying, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7, ESV).
We can be confident in our growth if we are planting and cultivating the right seeds in our lives.
May we sow seed in our lives that we desire to see grow and flourish—seeds of God’s kingdom purpose and blessing.
A Collect for Peace: “O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
