Gal 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. v8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. v9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
We all know that we will reap what we sow.
But do you know that you are always sowing. And therefore you are always reaping.
You are either sowing to the flesh (your selfish, sinful nature) or you are sowing to the spirit (your new, righteous nature in Christ).
You are either sowing what is bad or sowing what is good.
You are either sowing bad seeds or good seeds.
This truth suddenly hits me!
Whether I like it or not I am always sowing and therefore I am always reaping.
Most of us think that if I am not sowing, I'm just not sowing. We think we are OK. By not getting involved in what God calls us to, we are actually getting involved in what the devil wants us to. There is no middle or neutral ground.
Sowing to the spirit is not always praying, reading the Bible or "serving" God.
Sowing to the spirit is living in submission to God and His will.
You can be sleeping and sowing to the spirit by getting a refreshing rest.
You can be sleeping and sowing to the flesh because you are lazy and just don't want to work.
You can be watching a TV programme and sowing to the spirit because you are resting and relaxing and having a good laugh.
You can watching a TV programme and sowing to the flesh because you are feeding your flesh with lustful and violent movies and you don't know how to stop.
Let us heed the call to keep sowing to the Spirit.
Let us not grow weary while doing good.
We will surely reap a good harvest if we do not loose heart.
