Galations 6:8
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
In this scripture God is saying that whatever you invest in, time, money, love, life, spiritual things, church....you'll get back in harvest.
Most people use this scripture in talking about sin, but God isn't just talking about sin. He is also talking about what you talk about, what you do, where you go. Your every day life. If you only talk carnal then they is what you will reap. If you only deal in the natural and never invest in the spirit realm you will gain your earthly goods.
So what God is saying...is to take time to pray, read his word, fast, worship him, love your neighbor, reach to people. The greatest thing you can do for a great harvest is to love with God's love.
A farmer thinks, and plans what he wants to harvest. He buys the seed and does what he needs to do to make it grow. When it comes up, it is no surprise.
Just a farmer plans, daily when we get up, when need to plan, what do we want to sow in the future? Because what we say and do, the attitudes, how we treat people, etc... will be planted.
When you look in the bible, the ones whose hearts sought after God, cried out for God, found favor and God answered them.
My prayer for all of us, is that we gain wisdom , knowledge and understanding. That we take the time to think before we speak, we take the time to know where we want to plant and what we want to harvest. Earthly things are ok, but they will fade and only God's word will stand. Let's invest in God and his Kingdom.
