Doing it Right

Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Galatians 6:7-8 NLT

The story goes that there was once a Christian farmer who vowed to do everything right so he would get a bumper crop. He tilled the ground and prepared the soil. The rows were laid out perfectly straight. He provided water for irrigation to combat the heat and drought conditions. He went to church. He prayed. He fasted. He BELIEVED for that bumper crop. And even though he did all those right things, it didn't happen. Why? Because he never planted the seed...

What is it that we're waiting for God to produce? We're praying. We're fasting. We're believing... Have we sown the seed? Let's ask God what we should be planting...  

Prayer:

Father,

           Open our eyes of understanding to give what we need in order to reap the harvest that YOU desire in our lives. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
