What Does 2 Corinthians 9:10 Mean?
Continuing the farming picture, Paul names God as the one who 'ministereth seed to the sower' and gives 'bread for your food.' The same God who provides both seed and bread will 'multiply your seed sown' and 'increase the fruits of your righteousness.'
Everything we have to give, God first gave to us. He is the source of the seed and the sender of the harvest. When we sow generously, we are simply returning a portion of what His hand supplied -- and He delights to multiply it, enlarging not only our means but the fruit of good and righteous deeds. Giving, then, is a partnership with the God who provides, sustains, and increases.
