v You can take a cup of seed to plant throughout a garden. However, when harvest time comes, you will not be expected to take that cup in order to harvest the crop. The crop that came from that cup of seed will require a much bigger capacity. (Psa 126:Gal 6:9)
v Many people expect their capacity to remain the same after much sowing in various areas of their lives. They do not expect that there must be a stretching of their tents in order to accommodate the capacity of harvest that is coming. The stretching season is not very pleasant. In fact it can be the far opposite of good.
v Ask the Lord to make you conscious of the process of stretching so that you will not lose heart but rather continue to rejoice in Him and focus on the end picture. (Isa 54:1-3, Gen 26:22, Isa 26:15).
