Sowing and Reaping
Sowing and Reaping
Friday
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully…You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
— 2 Corinthians 9:6, 10-11 (ESV)

God uses the picture of farming to teach us about giving. A farmer who scatters only a handful of seed will harvest only a handful of grain. A farmer who scatters generously will harvest generously. This is not a prosperity gospel promise that God will make you rich if you give Him money. It is a kingdom principle that God blesses generous hearts with even greater capacity for generosity.
As you close out this week, ask the Lord to make you a generous sower. Not because you want a bigger harvest for yourself, but because you want more to give back to Him. The goal of biblical giving is not a fuller barn for me—it is a fuller mission field for the gospel and a fuller chorus of thanksgiving rising up to God.

Pray:
Lord, make me a generous sower this week and every week, so that Your name might be glorified and many would give thanks to You.
