Sow in Tears, Reap with Joy

Psalms 126:5-6 "Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him."

Do you ever feel like what you do for the Lord is wasted? Do you pray, seeking the Lord for answers, do you study his Word and share the good things God has shown you? Do you seek His Spirit to fill your life and guide you in your every step? Then does it seem at times like all that effort, all that prayer, all that dedication and obedience is just wasted because you don't see any fruit?

Take heart. Sow away. Though you may not see it today, or even in your lifetime, the promise of God is that those things done for His glory will bear fruit and one day, either here or in heaven, you will rejoice with shouts of joy for the wonderful harvest God brings in for what you have sown.
