A Time to Sow

"To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV)."
Inspirational Bible Verses: Ecclesiastes 3:1-9

God knows when it is in our best interest to sow or reap. At this point I know I am in the stages of sowing seeds. Sowing is a difficult, dirty, yet necessary time in our lives. Throughout the process of sowing, we get to the core of our shortcomings in Christ. If we are lacking in faith, this time allows us to plant seeds of belief and remove thorns of doubt. Our spirits may be low in unconditional love for our fellowman, therefore we should plant seeds of tolerance and remove weeds of discontent. In a garden over run with pride and self worship, seeds of meekness must be sown. Although reaping gives us rewards of our harvest, it is sowing that builds; faith, love, and meekness. Moreover, sowing strengthens our relationship with God and encourages us to cling closer to Christ. Thankfully God uses this time to mold us into spiritually stronger Christians. So when you find yourself in a spiritually demanding episode of  life, say to yourself, "Thank you God for a time to sow."
