James 3:17 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”

DAILY READING: Acts 7:1-22; Like 23, Genesis 33, Psalm 28

William Lewis Douglas was a renowned American businessman and politician. He founded the W. L. Douglas Shoe Company, a highly successful business that became one of the world’s largest shoe manufacturers.

Douglas started out in life as a struggling young man who couldn’t find a job. One day he was finally down to his last dollar. That week, while he was in Church, as the collection basket was being passed, he sowed a seed he couldn’t afford to sow. He put half of his last remaining dollar into the offering basket. The next morning he heard of a job in a neighboring town. However, the railroad fare to that town was one dollar. Though he didn’t have the complete fare, he used his last remaining fifty cents to pay for a ticket that could at least take him half-way, so that he would trek for the rest iof the journey. When the train stopped him, he heard of a factory in that town where they were employing men. He decided to go there and apply for a job. Within thirty minutes he had a job paying a salary of five dollars more than he would have received from the job he was originally headed to. He was apprenticed into the shoe trade.

In 1876, he established his own business which grew rapidly over the next twenty years. As he prospered, he entered into politics and soon won the election to become the Governor of Massachusetts in 1905.

His success story began because he was willing to obey the Scriptural principle of sowing sacrificial seeds which eventually led to the harvest of a successful future.

Adhering to the wisdom of God as revealed in His Word is a vital secret to succeeding in life. While our human thinking wants us to hold on to the little we have, divine wisdom demands that we give out what we have so as to receive more. The wisdom of God which is from above is what bears good fruits in our lives (James 3:17).

Sowing sacrificial seeds in time of need is divine wisdom that will always bail a person out of financial difficulty. In creation God ordained the cycle of sowing and reaping as a fundamental principle of growth and progress. Genesis 8:22 says that as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest will never cease. Those who subscribe to this principle can never be stranded in any situation.

Anytime we come to a crossroad on the journey of destiny, our surest path to follow is obedience to God’s Word. Even when it does not make immediate sense, our obedience to divine instructions will always deliver us from destruction. The truth is that everything that happens to us in life is determined by the level of our response to God’s Word. When we sow obedience to God’s Word we will reap His blessings. But those who choose to sow disobedience will reap the consequences. The Scriptures lets us know that “Those who sow wind will harvest whirlwind” (Hosea 8:7). “Those who plow evil, sow trouble they will reap it” (Job. 4:8). “He who sows wickedness reaps trouble” (Proverbs 22:8).

Understanding the principle of sowing and reaping should encourage us not to be bothered by the actions of evil people knowing that whatever any one sows they will eventually reap.

Scriptures will always be fulfilled because God’s word will never return to Him void (Isaiah 56:10-11). As we follow the Scriptural wisdom of sowing good seeds today, we will surely reap the harvest of a better tomorrow. Let us therefore refuse to grow weary in well doing and continue sowing the seeds of tireless service towards God’s Kingdom, because we will surely reap a good harvest in due time.

PRAYER: Lord please grant me the grace to always follow the divine wisdom of sowing good seeds in Your kingdom knowing that my labour will never be in vain. I thank You Lord, for the great and mighty harvest You are bringing my way in Jesus Name.
