Moses, Vietnam
He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful.
In that day your cattle will graze in broad meadows.
Isaiah 30:23
It is an honor and a privilege to share with you about this special verse in Isaiah. It is so special to me because I still remember it from a long time ago. I had a week of fasting and praying, and Father God gave me this precious verse.
I would like to suggest to you that the Lord also taught me the meaning of this verse. Let me share the various parts of it with you:
He will also send you rain—Father God will bless us by sending us rain. Spiritually, rain means the Holy Spirit.
For the seed you sow—There are many kinds of seeds, including the seed of the Word of God, the seed of giving money, and the seed of prayer. There is a time to sow and a time to reap, physically and spiritually (Ecclesiastes 3:2b).
Physically, for example, in Genesis 26:12: “Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him.” For a spiritual example, look to Hosea 10:12: “Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.”
In the ground—Spiritually speaking, this means or represents the heart of man.
And the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful—When we sow the seed God has for us to plant, the Lord will bless us by sending Holy Spirit rains in our life.
In that day—Our visions from the Lord and the dreams of the harvest will come true.
Your cattle will graze in broad meadows—This is our legacy from the Lord, the effect of doing what this verse says. There will be a harvest.
I still remember when I witnessed to a classmate many years ago. At that time my friend was a teacher. When I told him about the Lord Jesus, he did not believe. After that he was in jail for fleeing abroad. In jail, he prayed that if the Lord would help him flee, he would believe, and the Lord answered. He became a Christian when he arrived in Canada.
Ten years later on a Sunday morning at the local church, I saw a mother with two children. Her husband was my friend from Canada. She was very thankful to me because I had witnessed the Lord Jesus to her husband, and after that she and their children believed because of his witness. My friend and his family are now servants of God. Hallelujah!
You reap what you sow. When you sow the Gospel, you will reap the lost people. A harvest will take place.
