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 –Galatians 6:8(NLT)
HARVESTING WHAT YOU PLANTED
A poem and essay by ILMA
What you sow is what you will reap
If you plant trouble, you will weep
Those who live to please their sinful nature
They are considered foolish and immature.
Those who follow their hearts and please God’s Spirit
They will never be poor one bit
When you seek to follow God’s laws
You will have all that you need and an overflow.
The law of sowing and reaping is one of the laws of God which is essential in attaining and keeping a peaceful and prosperous life. Matthew 7:20 says that we can identify a tree by its fruit just as we can identify people by their actions. An apple can never be produced by a pear tree.
The bible tells us that if we live to satisfy our own sinful nature, then we will surely harvest decay and death but if we constantly seek to please God, then we will reap everlasting life. Many believers want to be saved but do not have what it takes to obey and honor God’s commands. They wonder why their lives are messy when do don’t invest their time on serving God.
PRAYER
Lord, instill a clean heart in me.
REFLECTION
What do you sow in life?
