“Bring back our captivity, O Lord, As the streams in the South.
Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.”
~Psalms 126:4-6 NKJV
Hello family! Have you ever found yourself doing all the right things: praying, believing, showing up, yet wondering if any of it is actually making a difference? Maybe you’re sowing seeds with tired hands and a heavy heart, hoping something will eventually change.
Psalm 126:4–6 is a powerful reminder that God is at work even in seasons that feel dry, delayed, or discouraging. These verses speak directly to those who are sowing in faith while still waiting to see the fruit of their obedience.
God does not waste our tears. He uses them to bring restoration, renewal, and an abundant harvest in His perfect timing.
Keep planting seeds of faith, prayer, obedience, and trust, even when results aren’t immediate. It reassures us that perseverance will be rewarded and that seasons of sorrow can give way to songs of joy.
God is faithful to restore what feels lost and to turn mourning into rejoicing for those who continue to trust Him.
Reflection:
What seeds are you currently sowing in faith, even though the harvest hasn’t appeared yet? How can you continue trusting God with the outcome?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, You see every tear, every prayer, and every seed sown in faith. When the waiting feels long and the ground feels dry, help me not to lose heart. Strengthen my trust in Your timing and remind me that You are always working, even when I can’t see it. I place my hope in You, believing that joy will come and that You will bring a harvest from what I’ve faithfully planted. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Don’t give up in the waiting. What you sow in faith today will one day be reaped in joy.
Live Faithfully and Sow Seeds,
