What Seeds are You Sowing?

“Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows that will they also reap.” ~ Galatians 6:7

The Bible has a lot to say about “sowing seeds” – and rightly so. We all sow (plant) seeds on a daily basis, and we will reap a harvest of exactly what we sow – later than we planted and more than we planted. Later than we planted because it takes time for the seed to grow, and more than we planted because a single seed can sprout into an abundance of crop – and it also multiplies the original single seed into many seeds of like kind.

So, the question is: “What seeds are we planting on a daily basis?”

If we’re filling our minds and time with ungodly thoughts, words, actions and deeds – then that is exactly what we will reap – and like seed will be spewed unto our circle of influence of family, friends, and associates.

On the other hand, when we fill our minds and time with the Word (Bible), seek to know and do God’s will – then we are sowing godly seeds, that will reap the fruits of the Spirit springing forth from us onto our circle of influence.

The seeds that we are sowing also have eternal consequences – as pointed out in Galatians 5:

“Now the works of the flesh are obvious: adultery, sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I am warning you about these things — as I warned you before — that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.” (verse 19-22)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” (verse 22-25)

I pray that you will continually seek out – and walk in – the paths of righteousness as taught and demonstrated by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Trust me – you will never regret planting the godly seeds in your life.
