Sowing and Reaping

Thought For Today -July 7
Sowing and Reaping
By: Robert A Searles

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126: 5,6.

There is a principle taught in the word of God, the bible, that teaches that we must put out before we can gather in. We must sow before we can expect to reap. If we will give ourselves first to the service of Christ, then our lives, our homes, our church, and our business will be firmly established and prosper.

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

"Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep." Psalm 127:1,2

The foundation of every life, every home, every church, and every business must be Christ. Without him it will not stand nor prosper for long. How firm a foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord!
