December 09, 2005 - Sowing The Right Seed
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches." - Matthew 13:31-32
When you think about it, everything on this earth moves in a cycle. The saying "What goes around, comes around" originates from God's Principle of Sowing and Harvesting. It is a spiritual law that governs the earth. You sow an apple seed you get an apple tree, a durian seed for a durian tree so on and so forth. The same principle applies in how we sow in and from our life. We are our own field. We are sowing throughout our life. And that which we sow we will harvest--both good seeds and bad seeds.
A good man out of the good treasures of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. -- What we give or practice is the same of that which we develop and mature into. When we sow into the Word of God we develop and reap growth and maturity in our innerman, that in the face of challenges and tossing winds we will stand steadfast, rooted and inmovable in all things. If we haven't been sowing and developing our innerman we will be so ill-prepared that when challenges come our way, instead of walking in overcoming victory we will be beaten to dust in disaster after disaster. It is a simple truth that in often times is not heeded in wisdom and consciousness. There are many of us who spend so much time sowing in carnality and satisfying the lust of the flesh by the constant junk we sow in our mind, in our ears, in our mouth and before our eyes. That in due time we harvest a very junkie life, of desolation and death--failure, lifelessness, profitless.
What kind of bird will we find nesting on the branches of our tree? Will it be an eagle? Or will it be a vulture?
So make the choice to sow good seeds. Start sowing into the Spirit and the Word of Life and harvest the overflowing abundant Life. Start sowing Love and harvest the powerful fruit Love brings.
