2 Corinthians 9:10
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;
Zechariah 8:12
‘For there will be peace for the seed: the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
As a very young boy I can remember planting seeds with my mother in a flower bed before the season of Spring came around. I was very anxious to see when the flowers would grow. My mother told me it would take some time but I would go out to the garden each day to look, only to see the same old flower bed with no growth. I forgot about it all after a while. Then one day, the flowers actually sprouted. I was filled with excitement and wonder. Those flowers actually came from the tiny little seeds I had planted!!
We as humans can also plant seeds and watch righteousness spread through what we have planted. A visit to a person in need, an opening the door for a person at a store, a letter to an old friend, listening intently to someone who has something on their heart to say, paying attention to youth as they approach adulthood, an anonymous gift to another, a compliment given a few times a week to others – these are ways we can plant seeds of righteousness. And as 2 Corinthians 9:10 indicates, God will multiply and harvest the seeds we have planted.
Sometimes we may plant a seed without even knowing it. For example, an airlines ticket agent planted a seed for me one time when I was flying from Dallas to Jackson, Mississippi back when I was working as a trial consultant. I was not really looking forward to the trip and was feeling a little sorry for myself that morning. I heard the ticket agent talking to a fellow ticket agent at the counter about the movie Patch Adams starring Robin Williams. Patch Adams was a medical doctor who made it his mission to help others, whether he healed them medically or made them smile and even laugh in the face of their serious illnesses. I left that ticket counter thinking, you know, I can try to be like that this very day. I have a difficult job ahead of me but I can choose to be kind to those I meet, to carry a face of strength in grace, to plant a few good seeds here and there. I felt good for the rest of the trip and was even more confident in my work. In the way I was choosing to act, I felt like God was behind me. And, who knows, I may have spread some good seeds along the way.
As HIM’s, we make the choice to do good. And, we can to that daily. Keep the idea of planting seeds in your mind today and this week. And remember that God will harvest your seeds of righteousness.
