Galatians 6:8-10 “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 the opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.”
We may not be conscious of it, but we are always sowing. What we sow is vitally important because what we sow comes back to us in greater ways; a few seeds produces a big crop. We may argue or we may disagree, but the fact is that if we sow to the flesh, we will reap corruption. This fact hi lights the importance of sowing to the Spirit. We sow to the Spirit by listening to and following the leading of the Spirit and being about the things of God. Sowing to the Spirit is not some strange, undefinable deal; it is spiritual but it is also expressed in the natural. For example, we can sow to the Spirit by walking in integrity, by showing compassion in practical ways, by blessing others; we can do our work in a way that it is sowing to the Spirit. We do not do the good works we do so that we might gain His approval; we do the good works because God is good and He is always demonstrating His goodness. There are times when we do not see fruit from what we have sown, and sometimes we get physically tired; but nonetheless, we must persevere and keep on doing the good works He has for us to be doing. Doing goods works energies us and gives a sense of fulfillment. We are alive-we are living; and this is the day, and this is the time when we have the opportunity to express the goodness of God wherever we are. So the word for us is to not loose heart or grow weary in doing good. God will show us the works He has for us; there are no minor or insignificant good works when it’s the good works God leads us to do. Whether its mowing the neighbors grass or preaching to ten thousand, it’s all the same in God’s economy.
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them.”
