June 20, 2024 ALWAYS SOWING
Galatians 6:7-10 “Do not be deceived, for God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not loose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.”
The law of reaping and sowing is just that-a law; it always works. We are warned not to be deceived concerning this law of sowing and reaping; we must not be deceived into thinking that it does not really matter what I do, that my actions have no lasting impact. We may think of sowing and reaping in a negative light; thinking we better be sure we do not sow bad seeds. We must be conscience of the fact that we either sow to our flesh or we sow to the Spirit. It’s a fact; if we sow to the flesh, we reap bad fruit, and if we sow to the Spirit, we reap good fruit. The awesome, good news truth is that the law of reaping and sowing is a promise form God; if we sow to the Spirit, we reap good fruit-and that’s an open door! Sowing to the Spirit is about following the leading of the Spirit and about living according to the ways of God. It’s really simple; as the verse above tells us, we are to do ‘good to all men;’ not mere human ‘goodness,’ but the goodness that comes from God-because He is a good God. We are not to loose heat in doing good even though we may see no good fruit and we are not to grow weary in our sowing. An important aspect of sowing and reaping is that we sow now, and later we see the harvest. Sowing to the Spirit also means that we sometimes have to see past the immediate and be willing to not be guided by what seems logical. So, let us be about living life not totally focused on ourselves; rather, let us look for opportunities to sow into the lives of others. The amazing truth is that God allows us to represent Him in this world; and because He is good, we go about sowing good seeds.
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”
