Seed for Sowing – 2009
2 Corinthians 9:10
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.
Each month we choose a passage of scripture to emphasize and encourage the memorization of God’s Word. This is where you should begin, not end, as you memorize and hide God’s Word in your heart. These are seeds for the increase of righteousness, growing you in Christ-likeness, helping you to increase your seeds for sowing to others the Word of God for His glory.
