Answer 1

Answer 2

At Psalm 126, entitled "A Song of the Ascents," one of a group of psalms that the Israelites likely sang on their way up to Jerusalem when they joyfully attended the three annual festivals held there. Though at first this one had a hard time of it, with seemingly nothing to show for his labor, his diligence in patiently continuing to sow is at last rewarded with a harvest more bountiful than his fondest expectation.

Answer 3

This verse, in Psalms 126, means that when a person works sufficiently hard to sow his field, only then will there be a harvest to celebrate. Allegorically, it means that nothing comes easily. Those who invest effort in seeking God in this world have the best chance of seeing Him in the next...not those who are indifferent.

Answer 4

To sow in tears and reap in joy means that, when the human has gasped the true understanding of the divine process and have had a "Divine Intervention" when praying "tears will roll down the cheeks" which is a standard part of the process. However, when the tears stop, then the flesh is free from sins, and that will be the joy in the morning. Because one of the fruits of the spirit is joy.(Galatians5v22)

Answer 5.

According to the author(s) of The Bible "To Sow" is a 'divine process', and should only be viewed in that context. However, the process, although written in parables must have been very significant, so much so, that it is mentioned in the Bible at least Ninety times. That is significant. It must be pointed out that the 'seeds' are sown within, and that makes it a divine process. See Exodus 23v10, and a part of the law is to work/pray/oblation six days, 3 times/day and then rest on the 7th.
