Zig Ziglar wrote
that according to legend, it was reputed that a very wise old man who lived on a
hilltop overlooking the beautiful city of Venice, Italy, could answer any
question anyone might ask him. Two local boys figured they could trick him, so
they caught a bird and took it to the wise sage.
"Tell us," they asked, "is the bird in our hand dead or alive?"
The wise man replied, "Son, if I say the bird is alive, you will close your hands and crush it to death. Or, if I say the bird is dead, you will open your hands and it will fly away. The answer is in your hands."
And so it is with life. Whether we succeed or fail, live a meaningful or empty life, lay up treasures in heaven or go empty handed to meet God, it's all in our hands! For whatever we sow we reap. It's the law of the harvest.
