Bible in a Year: Isaiah 14, Isaiah 15, Isaiah 16; 2 Corinthians 9:6-19; Psalm 106:1-15
“Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 WEB
Jesus Christ taught His disciples and believers to sow. Jesus Christ is the same always and never changes. Because He is unchangeable, Christ’s teachings are always relevant generations after generations. Today, each and everyone of us is facing COVID-19 challenges. In Myanmar, we are practicing safety precautions such as hand-washing, staying home, wearing masks, etc. It feels as if the world comes to a halt and we are left incapcitated. Yet, we are trying to do some good and helpful work by providing support in the essential areas such as healthcare and daily bread. Everyday, the leaders of the country, organizations, and companies are extending their hands to the citizens and offering money and food. We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to do every good work.” God is pleased with those who give generously.
God is asking each of us to sow seeds of love and kindness in many ways. Some of us sow the loving seeds for the poor, while others do the same for those who are sick or imprisoned. I also remind myself each day to sow the seeds of love, patience, humility, and good work. The world can get very dark. May it be a reminder to all of us to sow bountifully, and thereby break through the darkness with the light of the seeds we sow.
Reflection
What kind of seeds is God asking me to sow daily?
What kinds of harvest do I want to reap?
Prayer
Dear God, please help us to sow the seeds of Your love, just so this world will bloom and bear love bountifully. In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
