To sow means to scatter on the ground for the purpose of growth and production (propagation) of a crop. Propagation means to extend by planting and establishing in places before destitute.
I have been pondering the idea of sowing and reaping. I think I always associated it with the negative idea that the evil we do will eventually effect us personally as well as effecting those around us. But it also has positive implications. As I "scatter" and sow God's word - the truth - then I am sharing the gospel and hoping for some kind of a harvest. If I don't scatter and sow, I will be like the man who received the talent (Matt. 25:14-30) from his master, and instead of using it to make more money, he did nothing with it (he buried it).
What are your talents? If you think that because of your PD, you have no talents, you are wrong. Even if God had not given you certain giftings, there is one thing that everyone can give - . It is the priceless Word of God - the Bible. You are here on this earth at this time to use what you have been given to further God's kingdom. If you do nothing, you will have nothing to present to the Lord when you are called to account. The Word of God is life itself. You have access to the Bible, so you are without excuse if you do not "sow" the seed of the Gospel. Isaiah 55:11 says:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
If we share the Word which has been entrusted to us, lives will be saved, hearts will be restored, and YOU will share a part in the glory of God!
Use whatever gift you have to share life with someone! God has arranged for certain people to cross your path today - people who may not even know that they are hungry for the Word of God. It may not be easy, but don't let that deter you. Listen to His prompting to share and speak what He gently prompts you to share. Because this is a dark and sinful world we live in (where disease and all manner of evil exist) we are just like Adam who was told by God after he sinned, that he would work the ground by the sweat of his brow. It won't be any different for us. We will work and labor to scatter Seed and wait for the harvest to come. And it shall surely come.
Beloved, you have access to the treasure everyone needs. Don't bury it. Give it away. Scatter it. I implore you....
