2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
We serve the Creator of the Universe. He designed and made this place to operate on certain immutable rules. This verse contains one of those rules. If you were hoping to get enough of a harvest to provide for you and your family, you could not sow just a little. You would likely use all the seed you had. Use it all up. Then you would wait. And pray.
When harvest time came though, your sowing paid off. Because for each seed that you sowed, you got more than that in return. That one planted seed grew and became a stalk of grain that contains many, many more seeds. I know Paul was speaking of different grain, but just to give you an idea, a single stalk of Oklahoma wheat can have 30 or more grains per head. A 30x return on investment.
Am I sowing bountifully in my life? Or am I clenching what I have? A lack of generosity is really just a lack of faith. Do you want a bountiful harvest? Then it's time to give!
