Galatians 6:7-8 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 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.
Most times we hear these verses being used with regard to sinners… people who don’t know God or who intentionally engage in actions that are contrary to God’s word.
Today, though, let’s take a look at it from a different angle. Instead of using it to point our finger at someone else, let’s use it on ourselves!
We all do stupid things. We make choices that are bad, whether intentionally or not. And the consequences of those choices will eventually come.
Sometimes they come very quickly, while other times they take a while to manifest. But there is one thing for sure; they will manifest!
So we all reap from the seeds we sow, whether we commit sins that are blatant or subtle. Anything that is contrary to what God directs us to do is sin. It’s just that sometimes we don’t really see it as being so wrong until later on down the road when we reap from what we have sown.
There are many areas that can fall into this “subtle” category. Bad financial choices, bad relationship choices, rebelling against authority, wasting the blessings God has given us, etc.
These are just a few. But hopefully they will help us see the meaning of today’s lesson.
Ask God to show you where you might be making poor choices and then ask Him to teach you how to do it differently. Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.
