The Law of The Harvest

Scripture

2 Corinthians 9

6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say

“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”

10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.

Observation

Generosity, does that describe you…does that word describe me? God loves a cheerful giver. To cheerful givers God will pour out His blessings, but if we are stingy what should we expect in return “0”!

It is the law of the harvest, if you plant a lot of seeds then you will have more harvest, if you plant sparingly then you will reap sparingly. It is just that simple, but it is so easy to forget.

This weekend we have an event called 24 Hours to Feed The City. It is an opportunity for us to be generous with as many people as possible in a 24-hour period. It is a simple gesture, but God will honor what our people do if they are doing it out of a heart of generosity.

Application

I will look for ways to be generous this week.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me live out my Christian life in a way that would show that I believe what You say about giving and about being generous. Help Kathy and I be generous people. Thank You for allowing us to be so blessed. We have received so much from other generous people. Show us where and how to give. Lead us to people this week that need to be encouraged. Give us the discernment to know who, when, and how to help someone.
