Happy Sunday!
"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall DOUBTLESS come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."(Psalm 126:5-6 KJV).My Pastor used numerous scriptures in his sermon today! This one stuck out to me! One word seemed to jump off the page. It was the word, Doubtless! The definition of "Doubtless" from the Webster's 1828 Dictionary is "Without doubt or question; unquestionably". It made me think of the most steadfast and trustworthy person. Someone who will always do what they say. Do you know anyone like that? That "Come Hell or High Water" type of person? Well, our GOD, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is faithful, and trustworthy!This passage in the Message version is even more descriptive and encouraging! "And now, God, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken lives. So those who planted their crops in despairwill shout “Yes!” at the harvest. So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home LAUGHING, with armloads of Blessing."(Psalm 126:4-6 Message).Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."(KJV). The Living Bible version says, "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead."(Hebrews 11:1 Living Bible) Don't miss this! Just like a farmer plants his crop and goes on about his other chores, we can be confident like he is that what was planted will "Doubtless" come up at harvest time! 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight".(KJV).Galatians 6:7-9 says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."(KJV). Don't be weary! In Due season you will REAP, if you don't faint!Love and prayers, Cynthia
