Sow with Tears
Psalm 126:5- Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy
We all know that sowing and reaping is a principle of God’s kingdom. So how can we reap if we do not sow? When we think about sowing the first thing that may come to mind is the illustration of a farmer sowing seeds in his field to reap a harvest. But what about when we sow with tears? In Psalm 126:5 God promises that those who sow with tears WILL reap with songs of Joy. When we plant a seed we expect a harvest, it is no different when we sow with tears. With God’s promise in this text, we can expect joy after the sorrow. 
We can also expect the tears we sow to water the word of God that is imprinted on our hearts, which in turn will produce a harvest of the things of God in our life. We can not let situations or circumstances destroy us or distort our view of God.
How have life’s circumstances tried to steal your joy and distort your view of God? And how did you refocus your eyes back to him?
