Galatians 6:7-9 (NIV)
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

What a great promise! We can live in the promise if we trust the Promise Keeper to keep His promise. Will He? Will God keep His promises?

The concept of whatever you put in the ground will sprout up shouldn’t be, even though we are not an agrarian society (farmers), foreign to us. God has set this principle up and it will continue through the end of time! It is a fantastic opportunity for us to be a part of God’s plan for us, which is a good harvest! I just was listening to a great teaching and learned this, (as if it wasn’t obvious), when you plant a seed, it takes a while before it yields fruit! Some seeds bear shade trees and they take years to produce the shade you are wanting. An Early Girl tomato plant takes a minimum of 45 days before yielding any fruit. Are you seeing the point? Verse 9 says don’t get weary of PLANTING and WAITING because the seeds take time to become what you want them to be! There are no microwave germinators! Keep doing good, keep loving, keep giving, keep sowing from your spirit and from The Spirit and in the right season your crop will come in! Don’t give up on God beloved – He is faithful to His promise!
