The Law of The Harvest

By Paula Williamson guest writer

Sowing and Reaping

Every farmer understands that you reap what you sow. It would be unwise for him or her to sow nothing just because they think it doesn’t matter. The reality is that we all get back the kind of crop we plant. If we sow nothing, we gather nothing. 

It Is Written

GALATIANS 6:7 -8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary.

Further Challenge

We sow more than we realize we do. What kind of crop can we expect negative thoughts and words to produce? What will we reap if we sow apathy and laziness? The law of the harvest mentioned in Galatians 6 states we will reap exactly what we sow. What will you sow today? It matters more than you think.

Prayer

Lord, help us realize that we all leave a mark on this canvas called life. We imprint our influence on the hearts and lives of others. Help us understand that our thoughts shape our actions and that we have the power to make a positive difference in the world today.

Takeaway

We will reap what we sow.
