Sow Good, Reap Good

Good Morning!! Look around you, all around you. Your life is a garden, and if you want good things then you must plant good things. God gave you the seeds for what ever good thing you desire in your life. Watch for things that will damage your harvest, like negativity, bitterness and envy, remove them. In Galatians 6, Paul stressed the importance of sowing seeds of God-honoring behavior, for "whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (v.7). We can't expect to experience the fruit of God's blessings if we don't recognize the importance of doing our part.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.—Galatians 6:7 (NIV)

It helps to follow the example of others who have sown good seed. Author Samuel Shoemaker said that a good example can either inspire us, or cause us to say, "Oh yes, he (or she) is like that. He is not troubled by temper or nerves or impatience or worry as I am; he is just a happier temperament." Shoemaker continued, "It may not occur to us that perhaps he had to fight for his serenity, and that we might win if we would do the same." Are you weary of the way you are? Ask God for His help and begin sowing seeds of new actions and responses today. In due season by the Spirit,...you will see an increase.

We're always sowing seeds in life
By everything we do and say,
So let's make sure the fruit we reap
Comes from the good we do each day. —Hess

Holy Spirit of God, remind us, that the seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruit we'll reap tomorrow. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

"Worship is an honest admission that God, is greater than we are."
