"For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads, it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, foreigners would devour it."(Hosea 8:7)
There are things in life that seem trivial. An action or word just carelessly cast about. You might think much of it. And yet it suddenly takes on a life of its own. It keeps growing and growing until it comes back at you with such an unexpected force that you are really blown away.
That to me is what this verse from Hosea points to. We live in a time when people think they can just say anything that comes to their minds and that there will be no repercussions. While the truth is the opposite. And often what seems like a small, stupid comment, starts to have effects that you could not have anticipated and are shocked by.
Reaping a whirlwind is an effort in futility. You will be knocked over, so best to consider where you cast your seed.
Blessings,
Ed
