Good morning, Champion. It really is an issue of whatever Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Welcome to another day where you have the opportunity to live and function in the God-established, eternal principle of seedtime and harvest, knowing confidently that what you choose to sow you will reap. For me the key word in today's verse is whatever because it declares that the principle includes whatever you sow in absolutely any and every area of your life. It is effective across every square inch of the landscape of your existence. Think about this – the eternal principle of sowing and reaping is relevant today in: 1. Your health and fitness 2. Your finances and wealth 3. Your relationships 4. And especially your spiritual relationship with your Creator These are just a few very significant areas you need to purpose to sow well in. With these areas, and with all the others, we can be certain that what we put in always affects what we get out.
Think about the area of worship in your life: If you put your energy and passion into worshipping God it is amazing what you will harvest out of it, while the person standing next to you not entering in can leave the exact same worship experience with apparently nothing. Why? One sowed, the other did not. Look at that same verse from The Message translation: Galatians 6:7-8 (Message)
Don't be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others – ignoring God! – harvests a crop of weeds. All he'll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God's Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life. Let us today again be motivated to make sure: 1. We are sowing wisely throughout the entirety of the garden of our life, and that we are not mocking God and deceiving ourselves. We should be actively partaking in this dynamic principle on a daily basis. 2. We are happy with the seed we are using – that we are making sure that we are not going to end up with a harvest of bitter weeds but instead the finest wheat! Finally, I love the last part of that verse about responding to God. Let our hearts ever be tender enough to hear the voice of the Lord calling us to sow, and when we do hear Him may we be courageous enough to respond to it even when it does not seem to make sense. Bless you, Andy
