Sow Your Tears; Joy Is Coming

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

The verses taken from this psalm reminds us today of the true strain a Christian must go through to live according to the will of God… This road isn’t an easy road to travel nor is it something that we can just take up and conquer without much effort… When you accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior you are already battling the desires to live a life of sin; however, this fight only intensifies and is what leads the writer to inform you that you will “sow in tears…” The bottom line is that this course of life isn’t for the weak at heart; this excursion was never promised to be easy and will in fact test your faith and resolve. In living a life pleasing to God, we must do a 180-degree turn from what we are accustomed to doing naturally… The things that come naturally are the things that we must cut off, so we can definitely understand the thought in this passage that informs us that this journey will not be smooth… There will be days in your life where you want to give up, there will be times when you feel like all hope is gone, there will be moments when you feel the weight of your changes and desire to revert back to the easy path of life… The verse starts off by saying, “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy…” The psalmist is speaking to us today to let us know that you are assured to cry sometimes, you are assured to be down sometimes, you are assured to feel weak sometimes, but you must ignite your faith in your weakest moment, you must ignite your faith when everyone has turned on you and know that you will indeed reap joy or the benefits of your labor… God says that when we labor in the Lord we will not labor in vain… Understand that as long as you are committed to adhering to the will of God, as long as you are committed to following Him, none of your labor will be in vain… He will hear your cry, He will answer and He will deliver on HIS TIME… 

Weep, plant, believe and conquer…

ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
