"He
that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again
with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." (Psalms 126: 6)
The Lord blessed me to know many things about the life of the farmers because of many years of association with the village farmers. Farmers' life is closely related to the seasons. Their life is not like that of city dwellers who wake up in the morning and rush to the office. At the end of the month, farmers do not get a salary like a city dweller.
The farmers will start the
agricultural related works early before October when the northeast monsoon
starts in Tamil Nadu. If they don't have money in hand, they will pawn or
borrow money pledging their available small gold jewellery. Their life is not
full of happiness. The reason is that; they have to look at household expenses
and agricultural expenses. The land should be ploughed, fertilized and prepared
for agriculture. The farmer will have nothing else but faith. Believing in God,
he buys seeds with the borrowed money and goes to sow them. This is what
today's verse says, “He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed".
Beloved, let us align our
lives with this verse. We do many things by trusting in God. Cultivating the
land that is our heart. We yearn that "the miseries of my life will never
end". The Lord says to us, "As the farmer, carrying the seed with
weeping and return with joy which he has reaped, you too will be happy after a
certain period of time." says the Lord.
In this way, when the Lord
works wonders in our lives and makes us happy, we do not even know whether it
is real or a dream. We read this as the first verse of today's hymn. "When
the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that
dream." (Psalms 126: 1) Yes, we will be like dreamers who cannot
believe the changes that have happened to us. God says he will do such a great
miracle in our lives.
Our life is not always going
to be a life of tears. Report with faith as you read this. Our tears will turn
into happiness. Those farmers are our example. "They
that sow in tears shall reap in joy." (Psalms 126: 5) This
is certain, says the Lord.
Like ups and downs, pits and
hills, night and day, darkness and light, there is pleasure that follows
sufferings, says the Lord God. But the wait is worth it. The farmer does not
produce the crop the day after he sows it. On the contrary, he waits for the
crop to grow, waters, fertilizes, and weeds. Similarly, we should do our
responsibilities towards God in our lives and obey his words.
Then our wait will be worth
it. Whether it is a dream or a reality, God will do things in our lives beyond
what we can imagine. Then we also say, "The LORD hath done great
things for us; whereof we are glad." (Psalms 126: 3) and may
happily report like the psalmist.
