What the Bible says about planting seeds is that you should use the physical act of planting the seeds to illustrate spiritual truths.

It, literally acknowledges the cycle of seedtime and harvest as a fundamental part of life given by God.

And Metaphorically, the Bible also describes the planting of spiritual seeds like the word of God, deeds or kindness, or generous giving, which will also eventually lead to a spiritual harvest.

The outcome of this planting will also depend on the soil or the heart that it is planted in.

And the generosity of the sower of the seeds, require patience for the harvest to come.

The Bible also recognizes the natural cycle of planting and harvesting as a constant that is ordained by God.

It also includes laws and instructions, like the one in Deuteronomy 22:9, to avoid planting two different kinds of seed in the same field, which could also defile the harvest.

And in the parable of the sower, Jesus also explains that the seed is the word of God, or the gospel message.

It can also represent other good deeds, like acts of praying, giving or speaking wisely.

The type of soil also represents the heart of the person who hears the word.

And good soil also represents those with a noble and good heart who hear the word, keep it and produce a crop through perseverance.

And other soil types also represent hearts that are unfruitful due to various obstacles, such as the cares of life, the deceitfulness of wealth, or a lack of understanding.

Spiritual planting is a process that requires planting good seed, ensuring it's in good soil, care like weeding and watering and patience, because the harvest does not happen overnight.

The Bible also teachers that you reap what you sow, and sowing generously leads to a generous harvest and sowing sparingly results in a small harvest.

There is also a right time to reap a harvest, and one should not give up if the results are not immediate.

And after the harvest, there is also a need for you to give thanks.
