Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Galatians 6:7-8: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Compare our present time is "seed". And the next world we will reap as we sow now. As there are two type of sowing, one is sowing to the flesh, and the other one is to the Spirit. So we will the reckoning be hereafter. Those who live a worldly, carnal, sensual life, must expect no other fruit from such a course of despair, grief, suffering, depression and ruin (spiritual). But those who, under the guidance and influences of the Holy Spirit, live a life of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and abound in Christian graces, shall have the Spirit and reap life of everlasting. We are all often very apt to tire in duty, particularly in doing good. This we should carefully watch and guard against. Only to perseverance in well-doing is the reward promised. Here is an exhortation to all to-do good in their places. We should take care to-do-good in our life-time, and make this in our lives. Is it not incredible how huge trees grow out of tiny seeds! This principle runs throughout all of life. We can never completely get away from the seeds we sow. So let us do not try to fool ourselves while we are trying to do a "snow job" on God. Let us make sure the seeds we sow are the ones we want sprouting up!.

Heavenly Father, how we love You for the plans You have for each of us. Who lived before time began and who will be the Great we are when the time is no more. bless the seeds we sow that they may bear fruit 100% to you. Give us an attentive ear to hear You and the path we need to take to fulfill your will into our life. Through Infant Jesus, the grain of wheat who died and was buried for us, so that true life may flower forth. Amen.
