WHATEVER YOU SOW...GROWS

WHATEVER YOU SOW…GROWS

No, this devotional is not designed to separate you from your purse or wallet, so please continue to read. [Smile]!  I am fully enamored with the principle of sowing and reaping because it is so applicable in every arena of life.  Here is a small sampling of relevant scriptures.  “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest…shall not cease.” (Genesis 8:22) “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7b)  These biblical wisdoms do not pertain exclusively to tithes and offerings, which are certainly due to God via our sense of appreciation and covenant.  Rather, they are part and parcel of our total life experience.

To illustrate this point, let’s imagine you standing at the edge of a pond with a rock in your hand.  Then, you hurl the rock into the center of the pond with all the strength you can muster.  Naturally, it creates waves.  Concentric circles emerge from the spot your rock entered the water, eventually reaching every side of the pond.

Let’s analyze what happened.  That pond was totally still and undisturbed prior to your arrival.  Then you did something – you threw a rock into the pond and perturbed its peace and tranquility.  In a word, your actions precipitated a significant change in the pond environment, impacting its water, contents and banks.  Think about it.

In life, whatever you do…matters.

In life, whatever you sow…grows.

We should never see ourselves as so small and inconsequential that the effects of what we do or say are somehow minimal or negligible.

Make sure that the next rock you cast into the pond of life is positive, peaceful and productive.  Someone, somewhere, will somehow be impacted.  And never assume that GOD is not paying attention, even to the ‘smallest stones of life,’ because He cares so much for every one of His children.  Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed!
