My Bible Verse of The Day - 1-17-25
Galatians 6:8 (NKJV) 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
God’s word is extremely clear when it comes to the principles of sowing and reaping.
Most times, we think of finances when sowing and reaping are mentioned; if we give much, we will reap much.
And while there is a specific element of truth to that (which we will save as a discussion for another day), sowing and reaping also applies to other scenarios.
We can expect to reap what we sow in many other ways; joy, kindness, spoken words, and much more. We reap from all those things. What we sow, we get back in return, whether good or bad.
In the verse above, we are told very plainly that if we sow to the flesh, we will reap from the flesh.
What does that mean?
The flesh represents everything that is contrary to God; selfishness, lust, jealousy, envy, rage, temper tantrums, willful rebellion, and a list of many other behaviors.
Every one of them drives a wedge between us and God. Yes, we have an Intercessor mediating on our behalf; Jesus Christ Himself.
But having this Mediator does not give us an excuse or the right to willfully walk in the ways of the flesh. We are told very plainly that doing so leads to corruption and death.
Romans 8:13 (NKJV) 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
We beseech everyone today to walk in and by the Spirit. Sow deeds that reap life. Flee from the things that reap death.
And as we do this, not only will we be walking in a way that honors God, but we will also be walking out the things that bring God’s blessings into our lives.
