Sow To The Spirit

Those who are taught the word must share in all good things with their teacher.

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.

Galatians 6:6-10

Somewhere in the world right now a farmer is dropping seeds into the ground. Soon those seeds will begin to change the place where they were planted. The carefully prepared soil that appears barren today will become a field ready for harvest.

In the same way, New Year’s resolutions can be seeds to alter the landscape of life for others and ourselves. We should become instruments of peace for God.

A farmer who sows wheat is never surprised when wheat grows from the ground where it was planted. That is the universal law of sowing and reaping. Such is also the case with the Word of God. You should not be surprised when things you have sowed come to fruition with God’s watering and nurturing. We can plant the seeds of faith in our children. Know that God, works through Jesus, and the Spirit in each of us. We can grow into powerful witnesses for Christ.

Today is planting time. God has promised we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

One seed at a time, one person at a time, one saint at a time.

Sow today what you want to reap tomorrow.
