You Reap What You Sow

Galatians 6:1-10 ESV

Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.
Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he 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. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

So, the biblical principle here is if you put good in, you will get good out. If you put bad things in, you will get bad out. Easy enough, right?

If you are receiving bad today it isn’t a punishment, rather it is a principle. Once you figure this out, life becomes easier to understand. Start sowing in to others around you, today. This will be so rewarding that you will wonder why you haven’t done this before.

You usually reap the benefits of what you sowed in a different season. So, even if you don’t see it in your life at this moment, it’s coming. I promise. When you reap the benefits, trace it back to what you sowed in the first place to receive an abundance of blessings. Since it is a Biblical principle, it will always work and actions can be performed again to see the same or similar great results.

No matter what you have sowed in the past, you can change that today! Start putting good in.

What is an example of a time in life where you reaped what you sowed? You can leave your comment below.
