You Reap What You Sow: New Insight


I am reading this morning and I come to this verse and I see it in a new light. I have read it many times and I have interpreted it from a perspective of eating and having a full stomach but now in my 18th day of a 40 day fast I am reading it form a place of spiritually eating and being spiritually full. Look at this.

Galatians 6: 7-9

7Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

8For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

9And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint.

If you allow it your flesh will take over and rule your life. This is why times of fasting are so crucial to your life, times of humbling ourselves before the Lord. Fasting is a way to keep our armor fit and our blades sharp.

God is alive and powerful and He waits anxiously for us to join Him.
