Sowing And Reaping

You will always harvest what you plant. Galatians 6:7 NLT.

How many decisions do we make in a day? How many of those will be big, important decisions? Sometimes we think our small decisions don’t matter, but all decisions have consequences. If we decided to eat nothing but junk food, eventually we would lose our health. The Bible warns us that a farmer harvests only what he plants. He doesn’t plant cabbage and get tomatoes. In the Old Testament, King Rehoboam stubbornly rejected wise advice and listened only to those who agreed with what he wanted to do. That caused conflict, and the nation of Israel split into two kingdoms. Part of the human makeup that distinguishes us from other creatures is our ability to reason and make decisions. We are free moral agents. Becoming “new” in Christ is a beginning, but it isn’t the end of our problems. It marks the beginning of our facing up to them. Being a Christian involves a lifetime of hard work and staying “in tune” with God. Life is filled with decisions. How will we make them? Often He puts us in the path of others who will give godly counsel based on His Word. But the most important thing is to seek God’s will in every decision. Pray. Turn to the Bible. The Lord waits to hear us call on Him, asking Him for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
