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.
