Seed for the Sower

"White Lightning" Iris

He who sows generously that blessings may come to someone will also reap generously and with blessings. And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your resources for sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity. Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and your generosity as it is administered by us will bring forth thanksgiving to God. (2 Corinthians 9:6b,10,11)

How do we know when that which we have in our hand is seed, and when is it bread for our provision (since God provides seed for the sower AND bread for eating)?

If what is in your hand is sufficient for your need then that is what it is for. If what is in your hand is not enough to meet your need... it is seed! This is radical thinking but I have found it works. Every time.
