What do you want to plant? I believe that's a question we should start asking ourselves daily. When we wake up in the morning, when we have interactions throughout our days, when we experience wins, and even when we experience losses.
What I mean by asking that question is, do you want to harvest death and decay or everlasting life?
Do you to live by the Spirit or do you to live and satisfy your sinful nature?
Don't be misled-you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. (Galatians 6:7-9)
Guys, let's not get tired of doing good! At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Sometimes it's hard to be patient. I think about the times growing up where my parents would plant raspberry bushes, and you always had to eat them at just the right time. I remember looking at the bushes everyday and as soon as the berries started to turn red I wanted to eat them, and each time I tired, they were so sour and tart! When I finally learned to be patient and wait, there was nothing better than a perfect raspberry straight from the plant.
Life is a lot like that sometimes, we have to always be patient and never get tired of doing good and trusting the process in life. I believe in life that nothing happens to us, everything happens for us.
As you move onto your busy day, I challenge you to really think about some of the questions I asked in this post. What are you planting? What do you want to plant? Do you want to harvest death and decay or everlasting life?
