Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. \u2014Galatians 6:7<\/p>\n
I read a fable about a man who was browsing in a store when he made the shocking discovery that God was behind a sales counter. So the man walked over and asked, \u201cWhat are You selling?\u201d God replied, \u201cWhat does your heart desire?\u201d The man said, \u201cI want happiness, peace of mind, and freedom from fear . . . for me and the whole world.\u201d God smiled and said, \u201cI don\u2019t sell fruit here. Only seeds.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Galatians 6, Paul stressed the importance of sowing seeds of God-honoring behavior, for \u201cwhatever a man sows, that he will also reap\u201d (v.7). We can\u2019t expect to experience the fruit of God\u2019s blessings if we don\u2019t recognize the importance of doing our part. It helps to follow the example of others who have sown good seeds. Author Samuel Shoemaker said that a good example can either inspire us or cause us to say, \u201cOh yes, he (or she) is like that.<\/p>\n
He is not troubled by temper or nerves or impatience or worry as I am; he is just a happier temperament\u201d. Shoemaker continued, \u201cIt may not occur to us that perhaps he had to fight for his serenity, and that we might win if we would do the same\u201d.<\/p>\n
Are you weary of the way you are? Ask God for His help and begin sowing seeds of new actions and responses today. In due season the Spirit will give the increase. The seeds we sow today determine the kind of fruit we\u2019ll reap tomorrow.<\/p>\n
