Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. —Galatians 6:7-9
Good morning!
The principle of sowing and reaping is woven into the fabric of God's creation. A farmer who plants corn does not harvest wheat. A gardener who sows weeds does not pick flowers. What you plant is what you get. Paul applies this spiritual law to the entirety of our lives: whatever you invest in, that is what you will harvest.
Sowing to the flesh—investing your time, energy, and affection in the desires of the sinful nature—produces corruption. Not immediately, but inevitably. Sin has a harvest. It may seem harmless at the planting stage, but the crop it produces is always destructive. Sowing to the Spirit—investing in prayer, in Scripture, in community, in service, in the disciplines of the Christian life—produces eternal life. Not as a reward you earn, but as a natural consequence of a life oriented toward God.
The hardest part is the waiting. Paul knows this, which is why he adds: let us not become weary in doing good. There are seasons when faithfulness feels pointless. You serve and no one notices. You pray and nothing seems to change. You invest in people and see no return. But Paul promises: at the proper time you will reap. The harvest is coming. The only condition is that you do not give up.
Today, you are planting something. Every choice you make is a seed. Every conversation, every act of kindness, every moment of discipline or indulgence is sowing into the soil of your future. Plant wisely. The harvest will come.
Blessings,
Pastor David
