In this sermon, Stephen Davey illustrates Psalm 126:5 by tracing how God uses unseen faithfulness and painful sacrifice to produce eternal fruit. Through the story of missionaries David and Svea Flood, Davey shows how obedience that appears wasted can, in God’s timing, lead to widespread spiritual harvest. Though Svea died young and David abandoned the mission field in bitterness, God used one converted boy to bring an entire village to Christ. Decades later, God redeemed David’s despair by revealing the fruit of their labor and restoring him to faith before his death. Davey concludes that God never wastes tears, and every seed sown in faith will one day reap joy in ways only eternity can fully reveal.
