DEVOTION BY Jordan Zuniga POSTED 6/8/2026 6:00:01 AM
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV
I didn’t fully understand just how generous the Lord God was until I started sowing generously, bountifully, and obediently.
When I first started my creative writing ministry, I didn’t understand just how generous the Lord could be. I also didn’t take tithing as seriously as I should have. I tried to honor the Lord through various publications, but I wasn’t honoring Him as much as I should have.
But when I began honoring the Lord through my consistent weekly giving and through my circumstances, I got to witness His generosity in my life. I also got to see the spiritual realities of my sowing and the reaping in due season. I learned to be faithful with a few things so that He would entrust me with many things.
The spiritual realities of sowing and reaping are real, and they are a promise that the Lord must fulfill (2 Corinthians 9:6). But part of this conditional promise is realizing that sowing with generosity means sowing consistently and generously with our tithes of money. It also means creating room for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to display their generosity by fulfilling God’s promise to bless our sowing with reaping.
Paul reminds us of this principle. So does the writer of Ecclesiastes. He instructs us to send our grain to various places because we may yield a return (11:1-2). We are to sow with generosity, not allowing our hands to be idle.
Trust in the Lord’s promises and sow generously.
