You Reap What You Sow

This is the Article for the April Newsletter

Galatians 6:7 - Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Planting season is quickly coming our way.  This spring many farmers will be planting corn, beans, wheat, or any number of other crops.  Many of us will also be planting gardens, whether we are farmers or not.  And everyone who plants looks forward to the harvest that comes later in the year.

When you plant something, what do you expect to harvest?  I don’t know about you, but I would be surprised if a farmer who planted corn in his fields began cursing once harvest started because he was expecting beans.  The simple reality is, whatever you plant into the ground is the crop you will harvest that year.

Is this not also true in our spiritual lives?  Whatever seeds we plant, whether they are seeds of kindness or selfishness, those are what we will harvest.  Whatever we choose to invest ourselves in, those are what will grow to fruition.  If we decide to dedicate the “fields” of our life to kindness and love towards others and towards God, that is what we will harvest.  And if we don’t, then whatever else we’ve chosen to dedicate our lives to, that is what we will harvest.  So this season let me ask you, in the fields of your life, what are you growing for the coming harvest?

This Week's Sermon, April 14th 2013
