Reap What You Sow
“Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”
Enjoy this sneak peek from the devotional Grit & Grace: Daily Inspiration for the Hardworking Woman.
From the time my brother was a toddler, it was obvious that his passion was farming. As he built his farm across the living room floor or his first large garden and equipment line (towable by a four-wheeler), it was clear that God made him with a deep desire to farm. Now that we are adults, I admire his attention to detail when it comes to selecting the right seed variety, fertilizer application, and equipment necessary to raise a successful crop. It truly is his gift.
You’ve heard it said that you reap what you sow. When you are focused on sowing a good crop, you will reap the benefit. If you go through the motions of life and half-heartedly sow in your relationships and professions, you will be disappointed in the results.
What are you sowing today? Is there an area of your life where you are hustling and giving it your all? Or is there an area of your life that you are unhappy with but that you are also not putting in the effort to improve? In your notes, list what you need to do to sow good seed in the following categories: spiritual, family, health, and profession.
Prayer:
Lord, I know I will reap what I sow. Help me to be diligent and intentional in the seeds I am sowing, amen.
