https://www.christchurchnashville.org/media/service-archive/thoughts-sowing-reaping/Today’s Psalm reading, the passage from which the old frontier hymn, Bringing in the Sheaves, is taken. It uses a farming metaphor that may be better understood if we change it into a financial metaphor. Sowing seed instead of eating it, especially in times of difficulty, is a hard thing to do. But as this passage promises, if we keep sowing, there will be a rich harvest ahead.
