| “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” |
| —2 Corinthians 9:10 |
The seed supplier is the one who gives the gardener or farmer the ability to plant crops and grow those crops to a successful harvest. The crop must begin with the seed. If there is no seed, there will be no crop.
In our lives as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we must have an adequate supply of the seeds of faith, hope, and love. We must have sufficient seeds of God’s mercy and grace. We must rely on seeds of truth from God’s written Word.
In each case, the One who supplies those necessary seeds is God Himself. He gives us the bountiful supply of every seed we need in order to love and serve Him with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength.
The Apostle Paul reminded the Corinthians of this with these words found in 2 Corinthians 9:10:
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
Our harvest of righteousness does not come from our good deeds, or good behavior, or good, well, anything. Just as God provides our salvation through His precious Son, Jesus, so God provides the necessary seeds that will produce a harvest of righteousness when we follow God in obedience.
This day, let’s praise God that He supplies the seeds that will grow a harvest of righteousness within us. Let’s thank Him that He is the One who gives us all we need when we are totally unable to supply what we need through our own efforts.
