We WILL Reap What We Sow…Why That’s Encouraging to Us

Do we reap what we sow? I saw this on Facebook today and thought…hmmmm….do I agree with this?

“One day all the hard work will pay off.”

First of all, I think there are so many things wrong with this. If it’s not paying off today, I will not stick with it. How does keeping my lines bright pay off daily?

  1. It is paying off today in life change.
  2. It is paying off today in healing.
  3. It is paying off today in freedom.
  4. It is paying off today in integrity.
  5. It is paying off today in healthy eating.
  6. It is paying off today in peace.
  7. It is paying off today in automaticity.

Wow!

Automaticity, Peace, Integrity, Healthy Eating, Healing, Freedom, Life Change

There are amazing daily rewards but, let’s be honest, we also want the scale to keep going down over time. That’s evidence that we’re making the right choices daily.

We Reap What We Sow

Galatians 6:7-9 says…

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.

“For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

“Let us not lose heart in doing good for in due time, we will reap what we sow.”

It’s the Both/And of We Reap What We Sow

One day at a time

One meal at a time…

God calls me to faithfulness to the law of His harvest.

Sow daily.

Reap in season.

All of nature teaches us this. God will not be mocked.
