“Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.”
Psalm 97:11
I read that recently and was struck by it. If light is a seed that is sown for us, what will be the plant? What will be the flower? What will be the fruit? I love the picture of God sowing seeds of light for us, especially knowing that ultimately the Lamb of God is our light, replacing the sun and the moon (Revelation 21:23). “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4).
And He also sows gladness for us. There will be a harvest of gladness, no matter how many trials afflict our gardens.
It also occurs to me what an interesting analogy this is. Seeds that are sown are buried first. Sown things must die in darkness in order to flourish and grow in the light. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. (John12:24.
Jesus is the light that was sown for us, who died in dark soil that we may enjoy the harvest of His everlasting light.
Things to ponder, musings to mull over…
I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
