You Reap
Whatever You Sow
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.
Galatians
6:7-9
There are some mistakes we made as
children that haunt us today. A girl who left the house without her mother’s
permission was run over and killed by a train. A boy
who should have been studying, but played football, broke a tooth and created a
lifetime of dental problems. Too much partying in college led one into the
Army, and he came home minus a hand. There is not a day that goes by that we
might be led down the wrong path, a path we will pay dearly for.
We do reap what we sow.
The choices we make today produce the
consequences we reap tomorrow. It is far better to avoid sin in the first place
than to struggle to overcome its consequences.
God can grant us wisdom to help us
make the right choices, and forgiveness when we make bad choices.
One good
reason for doing the right thing today is tomorrow.
