Galatians 6:7-8 — Verse of the Day for 01/21/2022

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit will reap eternal life.

—Galatians 6:7-8

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Isn't it incredible how huge trees grow out of tiny seeds! This principle runs throughout all of life. We can never completely get away from the seeds we sow. So let's not try to fool ourselves. We are going to reap what those seeds sow. So, let's make sure the seeds we sow are the ones we want sprouting up! And as we sow to please the Spirit of God and not the world, let's remember we are going to harvest eternal life!

My Prayer...

O Eternal God, who lived before time began and who will be the Great I AM when time is no more, please bless the seeds I sow. May they bear righteous and gracious fruit to honor you and to bless those I love. Through Jesus, the grain of wheat* who died and was buried so that true life may flower forth, I pray. Amen.

* John 12:23-26.
