“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. …The one who sows to please the spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
Galatians 6:7-8
In sixth grade I was on safety patrol to make sure all students crossed the street safely. One day, a much younger boy tripped and fell, and I was on hand to help him. Shortly thereafter, I ran for mayor of the school. The boy’s mom mentioned that her son had voted for me because I’d been so nice to him that day.
Over time, I learned I had experienced that a “man reaps what he sows.” My fellow student stood beside me and cast his vote for me. Think how much more so God has stood alongside us so that we have reaped His blessings in a myriad of ways!
Even when there seems to be no return, God promises to reciprocate. I keep this principle in mind: “When life is just so-so, just sow, sow.” I may not see the benefit in this life, but I certainly will in eternity. There are countless blessings we’ll never realize until that great and glorious day!
You have a choice. You can live a so-so life, or you can live a sow, sow life. Sow in faithfulness. And remember that the Lord reserves “glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good” (Romans 2:10).
