Ecclesiastes 11:6 “In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hands, for you know not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both alike will be good.” [AMP]
Every day we need to live our lives full of expectancy in God. This is a key way to fight off depression and wrong mindsets that have taken hold in our lives. As we go about our daily tasks of doing good and helping others, we must never tire in our generosity. Farmers will never tire in sowing seed – it is a way of life for them. Farmers know that if they stop planting seed then they will stop receiving a harvest in their future.
This verse helps us understand that we must develop a lifestyle of generosity. A life that gives all day long and never withholds. It is not necessary to know which seed produces our upcoming prosperity. We only need to know that we must plant in the right soil and continue to be generous people to prosper. Some people are generous on Sunday and stingy for the other 6 days of the week. They have just limited what God can bring to prosper their lives.
A harvest will come from every seed we sow – good or bad. Seeds are sown through the words we speak, the finances we give and the serving works that we do… the list goes on! These seeds will all prosper as a harvest in our lives. We must continually keep our expectation for the harvest on Jesus. He has a plan and a way of delivering it to us. Harvest often arrives in a completely different package or from a different source then we expect – but it will always arrive!
This week expect that God is going to prosper you! Don’t balk at the way He chooses to do it, the source it comes from or the package it arrives in – accept your blessing from God.
