Work
For The Good Of All
Do not be deceived; God is not mocked,
for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own
flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit,
you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing
what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then,
whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and
especially for those of the family of faith.
Some folks grow old gracefully, while
others become grouchy and mean-spirited. It is
important to know which way we are growing, because we are all growing older.
People don’t get irritable and
short-tempered just because they are getting older. Aging, in and of itself,
does not have to make us hypercritical and cranky. It is more likely that we
have become what we have been becoming all along.
We can choose to submit our wills to
God each day, asking Him to give us strength to live for Him and for others. As
He works in us, we will grow in grace and in kindness.
So, which way are you growing?
The seeds we
sow today determine the kind of fruit
we will reap
tomorrow.
