Gen 26:12 HNV
(12) Yitzchak sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. The LORD blessed him.
Most of us who regularly attend church hear about reaping more than we sow. Scripture speaks of it a lot. For me, particularly, this is easy to overlook and I blame it on our modern era of wealth. When I think of reaping one hundred times what I sow, I think of going down to the hardware store, buying $200 worth of seed, planting it on a lot and reaping $20,000 in produce.
Except that doesn't just happen. If it were that easy, we would all be farmers.
Isaac (Yitzchak) planted 1 corn stalk. 100 came up. Explain that.
It isn't explainable. It's God. God blesses in this way. This is a profound blessing from following God!
So how much are we reaping? Is it more than we can carry? If not, let's examine what we have been sowing.
