Today’s Scripture
“I can almost hear someone saying, “How can the dead come back to life? And what kind of body will they have when they are resurrected?” Foolish man! Don’t you know that what you sow in the ground doesn’t germinate unless it dies? And what you sow is not the body that will come into being, but the bare seed. And it’s hard to tell whether it’s wheat or some other seed. But when it dies, God gives it a new form, a body to fulfill his purpose, and he sees to it that each seed gets a new body of its own and becomes the plant he designed it to be. All flesh is not identical. Animals have one flesh and human beings another. Birds have their distinct flesh and fish another. In the same way there are earthly bodies and heavenly bodies. There is a splendor of the celestial body and a different one for the earthly. There is the radiance of the sun and differing radiance for the moon and for the stars. Even the stars differ in their shining. And that’s how it will be with the resurrection of the dead. The body is “sown” in decay, but will be raised in immortality. It is “sown” in humiliation, but will be raised in glorification. It is “sown” in weakness but will be raised in power. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. For it is written: The first man, Adam, became a living soul. The last Adam became the life-giving Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 15:35-45
Today’s Thought
If you neglect to sow your life into good soil, you will be left with nothing when harvest time comes. This is why so many people have never sowed, they’ve never received a harvest… God operates this earth by laws… He doesn’t respond to need; He responds in direct correlation to the Law of the Seed… Where you sow your life today will determine where you will be tomorrow.
Today’s Confession
God, your Word says seedtime and harvest will remain in the Earth… Help me to be a faithful and wise sower… Help me choose the right ground to sow into, one that will yield a harvest plentiful enough to sow even greater into the next good ground you bring me to…
