sowing

2 Corinthians 9:10

(NLT) For God is the One who gives seed to the farmer & then bread to eat. In the same way, He will give you many opportunities to do good, & He will provide a great harvest of generousity in you.

(The Message) This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God.

(NIV) Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

(NKJV) Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

(NASB) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;

(Amplified) And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity].

Do you ever feel like your just fooling yourself, reading into scripture more than what's really there? Do you ever feel like you get into a mindset & everything you see & hear reminds you of one thing. Do you ever feel like there a good chance you could be missing the mark?

I do
