Sow into the Kingdom of God.
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."
There are two things we can do with wheat kernels: we can eat them and receive the instant gratification of a temporarily filled stomach; or we can sow them into the ground and wait for the harvest. The weeping sower of Psalm 126 is someone who takes whatever keeps him alive and sows it into the Kingdom of God, into the lives of other people. Not the extra's, the scraps, the leftovers, but his daily "bread".
For some it could be giving up their time, their career, their "gainful employment" to enter into ministry. For others it could be giving time to worthy causes as a volunteer. To still others it could be using their talents and skills to facilitate the smooth running of community development projects. To some it could be giving financial support to ministry. Prayer warriors could sow with prayer. Perhaps the ideal is that we strive to sow with more than one type of seed. God promises that there will be a harvest, and in that promise lies the truth that when we sow our daily "bread", that harvest will not only feed us, but many others as well. It will not only give us temporary life and sustenance, but eternal life to many!! That is the harvest of true value!
The most pressing question is: Are we sowing our best wheat into God's Kingdom?
Are you?
