God uses the law of sowing and reaping to bestow His blessing. God’s blessing comes generally to the whole world as He sends sun and rain to the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45).
Sowing and reaping is also a law of the spiritual world. It is more than just an agricultural principle. It is an axiom of life that we reap what we sow. Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” There are natural consequences to our actions. The world operates under the law of cause and effect. There is no way around it: every time we choose an action, we also choose the consequences of that action.
Sowing and reaping implies a wait-time. Time is our most valuable asset. There is a lot that we say about time.
If I could turn back the hands of time.
Don’t waste my time.
We had a good time.
Time is our most valuable asset.
Young people, if you want to put a price on your time, sow into your education. When you agree to go to work on a job for an hourly wage you have put a price on your time. Whether it’s ten dollars an hour or a hundred dollars an hour, it’s up to you to determine the seed that you sow. Whether you are behind a desk or working with you your hands, it’s up to you. The reason a Doctor get paid like he does is because of his education. The reason skill people make what they make per hour is because of their skill and the training required to learn that skill.
Time is our most valuable asset. Although God is infinite, and His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts, He has provided time for us. We say, when it comes to God’s time, He may not come when you want him but he’s always on time.
Time is our most valuable asset. Twenty four hours in a day; 60 minutes in an our; 60 seconds in a minute. Time. We want this service be on time. Some people want to eat at a certain. A baby will let you know when it’s time: time to eat, time to change him. Time is important. We have to keep time. If you are singing, you have to come in on time, or you going to have a mess. If you are jumping rope, you are watching the movement to know when its your time to jump in, or you’re going to have a mess.
Time is a valuable asset. If you waste time, you will be in a hurry. Running, frustrated, always trying to redeem time. An important aspect of time is patience. We have to learn to be patient just as a farmer must be patient in order to see the fruit of his labors.
When the Bible likens the ministry to planting, watering and reaping (1 Corinthians 3:6), it suggests a length of time. God will bring forth fruit to His glory in His time. Until then, we faithfully labor in His field (Matthew 9:38), knowing that “at the proper time we will reap a harvest, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9; see also Psalm 126:5).
We reap in kind to what we sow. Those who plant apple seeds should expect to harvest apples. Those who sow anger should expect to receive what anger naturally produces. Galatians 6:8 says, “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Living a life of carnality and expecting to inherit heaven is akin to planting cockle burrs and waiting for roses.
This principle works both positively and negatively. “The one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward” (Proverbs 11:18b), but “whoever sows injustice reaps calamity” (Proverbs 22:8a).
We reap proportionately to what we sow. The rule is, the more seed planted, the more fruit harvested. The Bible applies this law to our giving. Those who show generosity will be blessed more than those who don’t. “Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously” (2 Corinthians 9:6). This principle is not concerned with the amount of the gift but with the spirit in which it is given. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7), and even the widow’s mites are noticed by our Lord (Luke 21:2-3).
We reap more than what we sow. In other words, the law of sowing and reaping is related to the law of multiplication. Jesus spoke of seed that brought forth “a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown” (Matthew 13:8). One grain of wheat produces a whole head of grain. In the same way, one little fib can produce an out-of-control frenzy of falsehoods, fallacies, and fictions. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). Positively, one kind deed can result in a blessing to last a lifetime.
Found throughout Scripture, the idea of sowing and reaping is an important principle imparting wisdom for both this world and hoping that our soul will be withe lord for an eternity
In this life we are the state of processing of crops and fruit into foodstuffs such as grain, wine, oil, and dried fruit. In a good year the season of ingathering was time for merrymaking (Judg 9:27; Isa 9:3; 16:9–10; Ps 126:5). A good agricultural year would have been one in which one ingathering activity did not end before another started (Amos 9:13).In other words you don’t sow when time reaping we can celebrate sowing as well as the harvest When Paul discusses the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, he uses the analogy of planting a seed to illustrate physical death. “The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body” (
1 Corinthians 15:42b-44a
). A seed may “die” when it falls to the ground, but that is not the end of its life (
John 12:24
).
little seed produce a lot of trees. The reason why Anderson Grove has stood 120 years is because they sowed their seed in faith.
A grove, by definition, is a cluster or group of trees.
Historically, groves of trees provided sanctuary, recreation and even places of worship. The types of trees grown in the groves are generally not of particular significance, as it is the sheltering canopy that is important. The care sometimes given to the planning and management of a grove is great. It takes time to tend to a grove. In order to be a grove, the trees must be kept free of undergrowth. Let me say that again: the trees must be kept free of undergrowth. Get rid of the undergrowth that distracts from the beauty of the tree. Distractions are what make us waste our time. When we waste our time, we lose patience. When we lose patience, we begin to sow negative seeds that keep us from harvesting the positive. Don’t waste your time. When there is seed time and harvest, we can’t afford to wast our time. We must take the time, plant the seed, have patience, and reap the harvest.
Mt 9:37–38then saith he to his disciples, ‘The harvest indeed is abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth workmen to His harvest.’Is 9:3–4Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As men rejoice in their apportion

Sowing and reaping is used as a metaphor for death and resurrection. When Paul discusses the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, he uses the analogy of planting a seed to illustrate physical death. “The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body” (
1 Corinthians 15:42b-44a
When you sow good seed in good in good ground you can expect a harvest in your season . I have learned some things in life about the principle of God. They will work if you work them.
When people ask what you are doing tell them I am working my ground be like Noah before the flood. Let them talk and try to distract you, but keep working. Have the faith of Abraham;
Be like Moses...
Let me go offer praise like David..Even when your seed looks like it’s not doing anything, keep working, keep sowing, have patience know that the God that gives seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness in His time.
We good morning Anderson Grove God told me to tell you its your season .It’s your time to reap a harvest because of the seed you have sown
