SEED AND BREAD

"For as the rain cometh down from Heaven., that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth" (Isa_55:10-11).

The seed is the word, and the Word of God is the incorruptible seed. As the rain comes down from Heaven to water the earth, so this Word comes forth from the mouth of God to revive the hearts of men.

Oh, ye pilgrim witnesses, that go over the broad field of this world as sowers for the Son of Man, see to it that the basket of your heart is filled with the good seed of the Kingdom.

The Word of God is God’s own seed for the sower. Ye need no other. All else is chaff compared with this. Butt remember it is not merely Scriptural words you are to sow, it is the Word of God, or God’s own message to men; and you will find that this seed will grow best when planted in its native shell of simple Scripture language. This seed is also to be the "bread of the eater." If the Word of God is not the food and strength of the preacher’s own soul, he will sow it but sparingly indeed All who live must eat. If we live by faith in the Son of God, His Word will be sweet unto our taste.
