The following commercial is probably the best commercial ever made, I am not one to cry much, but twice it has brought me to tears.
It is pretty easy to see that the message is that of the law of sowing and reaping. That spiritual principle has several other corollary laws that go along with it. I will simply list a few of them as a reminder, and a help:
You must sow what you expect to harvest. If you want mercy, sow mercy.
You determine your harvest size in part by the amount of seed you sow. He that soweth sparingly shall reap sapringly.
You reap at a different season in which you sow. James 5:7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.
Your crop is not automatic, there are dangers you must be aware of and proactive against:
Water your crop with prayer. Beware of varmints that will try to eat (steal) your crops. Beware of weeds that could choke out your harvest.
Finally plant the most seeds of what you want your largest crop to be. Seek the Lord, till He come and rain righteousness on you.
The only way to keep the fire on your altar burning, is to be diligent to keep combustible materials feeding it. Humility, love for others, passion for God, a broken and contrite heart, these will always ignite a huge fire!
