SOWING AND REAPING
2 Corinthians 9:6
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
Personal Challenge
I am blessed to have grown up in a farming family, The scriptures are so much clearer when you understand those which are based in a farming context due to this upbringing. There is no harvest without first the sowing of seed. There is also that balance of how much seed is enough. If the seed is sowed too sparingly, then there will be a minimal crop to harvest. This metaphor plays out in every aspect of our lives. If we sow our wealth, our time, our kindness and mercy, and grace towards others, sparingly, then we will reap it sparingly. If we sow bountifully, then the results will be bountiful. God has blessed us with so much and expects us to be good stewards with it. Glory be to God!
