Several passages of scripture came to mind while I was harvesting a large order of spinach yesterday. The Lord has blessed our spring harvest of the overwintered crops exceedingly abundantly beyond what I would have thought! Yes, some of the overwintered crops are beginning to show a few signs of bolting, but this spring’s plantings are about ready to take over where the first will leave off!
So many places throughout scripture there are parallels of both spiritual and physical agriculture practices. Paul was writing about a gift the Corinthians were preparing to give to the saints in Jerusalem and he said, “Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; as it is written,
‘HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR,
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER.’
Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;” 2 Corinthians 9:6-10 Continue reading »
