Paul said in Gal. 6:7 “Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

    Your life is a never-ending cycle of reaping and sowing, of planting and harvesting. Every day you experience both.

    Today you will enjoy (or, in some cases, not enjoy) a harvest you have planted in past days or weeks or months or years.

    And today you are planting tomorrow’s harvest. Your actions today create the life you will experience tomorrow, and in the days to come.

    “The one who sows to please the Spirit,” Paul says, “from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

And then he encourages us: “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 6:9)

    Sometimes it requires all of your emotional reserves just to continue one more day in your journey. Remember: this is a journey worth taking, and it is not without reward. At the proper time, you will reap the harvest that you are sowing today.

    So keep sowing. Make the calls that aren’t easy to make. Finish the task you’ve been putting off. Confront the problems you’ve avoided. Do what needs to be done. Sow today, and wait for the harvest. As the book of Job says, God will make all things beautiful for you in His time. – S. May

God bless you all and have a great week,

Michael
