Psalm 126:5-6. “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.” A PRINCIPLE.
The seed is in my hand, more than enough is there To produce the harvest the Lord expects Kept in a bag or bin, the seed will no fruit bear It must be sown in the field, and by my tears wet.
The most of my labor lies in preparing the ground Stones must be removed, and time taken to kill the weed After preparation labor, I stop to look around To make sure the field is ready for the seed.
Tears that stir life may come from rejection By those who don’t want me to work in the field But I know enough to expect there’ll be opposition I will sow the wet seed knowing what it will yield.
The two go together – the seed and the water The principle of life needs the two to produce Sorrow and joy when placed both together From sowing and reaping, the principle brings results.
“I know I can’t expect reality, Lord God, unless there is reality in me that shows to others. I pray I will never be hard-hearted in the work of the Gospel. To weep over the state of the lost is sometimes lost to me. Soften my heart and soul, I pray, O God, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
