Such a simple truth. We will reap whatever we sow.  Whether that be iniquity or blessing.  We cannot sow peas and hope to get tomatoes.  While our minds laugh and say, “duh!”, the truth of the matter is that we do this more often than we realize. 

For example, we sow frustration, criticism, and condemnation when our children won’t listen, and then we wonder why our children are being disrespectful and critical toward his/her brother or sister.  We sow disrespect toward our spouse and then we get frustrated when others are disrespectful to him/her and wonder how others could be this way. 

It’s time we wake up and carefully watch what we are sowing.  Sow good seed

Personal Reflection

What have you been sowing? Strife, discontentment, arguing, pride? Or blessing, peace, compassion and love?

Be intentional! If you have sown iniquity, today is the day to change that. Apologize to those you have offended and hurt. Make a commitment to them and stick to it.

Prayer Focus

Father, teach us to sow good seed in all that we do.  Let us not grow weary in this. Give us diligence and endurance that we may harvest the fruit of good seed for Your glory.  May your Name be lifted high in the Name of Jesus, Amen!
