Sowing a seed into the ground, is not too tedious and won’t be a loss. ( not spiritually). Don’t worry about the expenditure you put forth in the process, for if cared for properly; that seed will develop into a healthy plant that will produce a harvest, that will in turn produce more seeds in which to plant. Faith is like a seed. Take the seed of the word of God that covers your area of need; plant it in into the garden of your heart. Watch over the ground of your heart like a farmer would do his soil. Then you shall receive a harvest of what you’ve sown. Look at the verse that describes reaping a harvest in a negative way and turn it around.
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
