Planting Seeds and Harvesting

What seeds are you planting? What harvest do you expect to receive? Are you aware of the link between the type and the amount of seeds you are sowing and the harvest you expect to receive?
If we do not plant anything, we will not receive a harvest. If we plant abundantly, we will harvest an abundance. If we sow bad seed, we will have a bad return at harvest. If we sow good seed, we will harvest a good return.
The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Corinth, saying, “The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (2 Corinthians 9:6, ESV).
In his letter to the Galatians, Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7, ESV).
The seed we sow matters. How we invest our lives matters. We will not get anything out of life and ministry if we do not put something into it. God desires that we sow the seeds of his kingdom in this life so that we will reap the harvest of God’s kingdom.
May we plant the seeds of the kingdom of God in this life and enjoy the harvest of God’s eternal and glorious kingdom.
A Collect for Guidance: “Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
