II Corinthians 9:6
How about a simple exercise
in reason today? If one farmer sows 100
pounds of seed and another sows 10,000 pounds, which one will have the greater
harvest? Simple, huh? How about another one?
In the second letter
to the Corinthians at chapter 9 and verse 6, Paul the Apostle writes, “Remember
this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows
generously will also reap generously.”
That seems simple enough, invest lots and you’ll get lots in
return. Sounds kind of like what
investors hope for in the stock market.
This law applies to
all of life; work, money, study, relationships, practice, everything. In sowing and reaping; we always reap after
we sow, we always reap more than we sow and we always reap exactly what we
sow. As you have sown generously in
practice, you should expect to reap greatly on game day. If you have sown sparingly on the practice
floor, you should expect to reap sparingly during the game.
I trust that you’ve
invested generously into the life of this team.
Therefore I expect you to reap a generous reward in this game. Expect the hours of work, study, sweat and
effort to produce a great victory today.
