"Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;" 2 Corinthians 9:10
If you think about the life of the farmer, how much time and energy he expellees in producing a crop. The amount of care that is needed to prepare the ground, the knowledge that he must have and the timing of things, a place to store the seed to plant. As a sower are you putting that much energy into the fields God has given you? Are you going into God's word and selecting the seed? Are you storing the seed for the right time to plant? Sitting still in the morning and contemplating God's word is like the farmer preparing to plant. The more you are in His word, the more God will use you to plant. The word is His seed. Allow it to penetrate your thinking and produce the fruit of righteousness. SAINT BASIL THE GREAT (+379): "Silence is the beginning of the purification of the soul."
Dear Lord God, penetrate my thinking with the Word. May I give time to You so You may speak to my inner being. Purify my soul so it may produce the harvest of eternity. Cleanse my spirit of what is deep and remove what isn't needed. You are the keeper of my soul, I give you my time. Open my heart to the Word and bless this morning with joy and abundance. Prayers for those being challenged, may they see the fruit of righteousness in it. All for the glory of God, Amen.
