“You Reap What You Sow”
Friday, December 27, 2024
Key Verse
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” (Galatians 6:7,8)TEXT — Galatians 6:7-10
Message
It was Grant M. Bright who said, “You reap what you sow: Life is like a boomerang. Our thoughts, deeds, and words return to us sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.”
Today’s portion of Scripture encapsulates the divine law of sowing and reaping. It warns against the self-deception that one can sow evil and expect to reap good. In nature, we harvest the kind of seed we sow in multiples of what was sown. So, if a person sows to the flesh by living in indulgence and fleshly gratifications, he should expect a harvest of corruption in this life and hereafter. On the other hand, if we sow to the Spirit – living a Holy Spirit controlled life of righteousness and godliness – we shall reap everlasting life. What we see in our lives today results from what we sowed in the past; what we sow in the present will determine what we reap in the future.
The law of sowing and reaping also applies to giving of our substance to support God’s work and the needy ones. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all men because we shall reap the harvest, soon. Apostle Paul made it plain that those who sow sparingly would reap sparingly and those who sow bountifully would reap bountifully (2 Corinthians 9:6). Every good farmer knows he must plant good seeds in a fertile land to reap a bountiful harvest. Even so, we must not sow among thorns. We must sow our resources in God’s kingdom rather than into worldly associations or ventures that only yield meagre or no returns.
If you hope to reap bountiful returns, give bountifully to support gospel preaching. Sow in faith in the appropriate season. Sow cheerfully, sacrificially and persistently without fainting.
Thought for the day
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.”
