Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy! He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him. (Psalm 126, 5,6 ESV)
Sure
I am not a good gardener. Things I plant grow incorrectly. I do not seem to be able to make plants do what God created them to do.
But even when they grow poorly, or wrongly, or incorrectly… they do grow.
Obviously, exceptions exist. But when things are planted, sowed, started… there is a harvest, a reaping, a result.
And with God, through the amazing Christ Jesus… the result will be joy. Often not immediately. Often not today. Often in a way we do not expect. Often not in a way we recognize.
But joy, for Gods’ people, through the amazing Christ Jesus, is coming.
We might plant in tears and sorrow… in fact, we usually do! But the result, in spite of our planting, will be understanding, peace, and joy!
It’s sure.
