Seed the day.
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."- Robert Louis Stevenson.
The Bible is clear on the essence of putting hands to work for a chance at a better day.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat."- 2 Thessalonians 3:10
If you don't work, you most definitely must struggle to eat.
Each day comes with its own challenges and conquering, but that isn't what it should be judged by. There should be more to each day than problems and difficulties.
Treat your daily dealings like a farm that needs cultivating so that the tomorrows that awaits will be for harvesting.
You cannot take out what you do not put in.
The chemistry with life is that, for it to be worth anyone's while, it must be good enough for you to plant seeds today so that you can reap the fruit later.
Seed time and Harvest time.
The law of seed time and harvest will always play it's part in our life and in humanity as a whole.
Henceforth, all the days of the earth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease.- Genesis 8:22.
There will be such a time for planting and such a time for reaping you cannot deny this important aspect of life.
You must plant so you are able to reap when the time comes. You cannot reap what you did not sow.
