Sewing with the Right Water

Sowing with the Right Water

Psalm 126:5&6 state, “   they that sow in tears shall reap in joy [or with songs of joy].  He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again rejoicing [ranan 7442, i.e. singing], bringing his sheaves with him.”

       This is a precious promise for those who bathe their ministry in tears.   Sometimes we sow and sow and sow in tears and there seems to us that there is no fruit for our ministry.  However, God’s Word promises that they that sow in tears will reap with songs of joy. 

       If you have been praying for a long time for some situation or someone, do not give up!  Psalm 30:5 promises that “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”  The night of trusting God may be a long one, but God is faithful to keep all His promises.  Weeping connotes heaviness of heart and burden of soul, but the promise that we shall doubtless come again rejoicing with singing gives us hope.

       If you are now in the long night of waiting and trusting God, keep praying and keep trusting believing that God will answer your prayers.  Are you patient?  I’m not very patient.  However, I have seen God work miracles in His time.  God knows best; His clock keeps perfect time, and He never slumbers or sleeps. 

Thought for the day—Sowing with the Right Water

Perhaps the tears a Christian Musician sheds in his or her music sowing are proper water for the crop.
