Reap and Sow

As we near the end of the gardening season, every spring and summer is a beautiful illustration of a rock solid, biblical law that is summed up best this way:  what you sow, you will reap.

I mean, wouldn’t you be really surprised to go out to your garden to find okra growing when you know good and well that you planted corn? Or what if you walked out and saw peppers growing out there instead of purple hull peas that you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you planted? I mean, that would be dumbfounding, wouldn’t it, because you expect to reap what you sow? If you plant peas, you expect peas. If you plant corn, you expect corn. If you plant watermelons, you expect watermelons. That is just a rock-solid physical law.

But in Romans chapter 6, the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul tells us it’s a spiritual law as well. When you sow sinful things, you will reap the fruit of sin, which is death. Sin is that poisonous fruit. But if you will sow righteous things, you will reap the fruit of righteousness, which is life.

So, which fruit are you sowing for? Life or death. What you sow, you will reap. I pray that you will sow life-giving things so that you will reap life!

Change begins in you!
