Simple Truth

As the fall light softens the landscape,
and conjures thoughts of cooler days,

I find my heart drawn back to some

of the simpler truths of life.

In the quietness of the evening, I gave thought

to the harvest.  I love the whole notion of it.

The farmer works, tills the soil, plants the seeds,

and carefully tends the new growth, until at last,

the day of harvest comes, and he gets to

enjoy the bountiful fruit of his labors.

What a wonderful thing.
And hidden in it is a simple truth.

As we sow, so shall we reap.

Galatians 6:7-8

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

If the farmer had sown the seed, and

left it unattended, or sporadically and haphazardly

cared for it, his harvest would suffer the ill effects

that his lack of care would afford.

So it is with our days...
and our minutes and hours.
What we do with each minute does matter. 
Because the minutes quickly become the day,
and before we know it, the day is gone.

God gives us each new day we have,

and one thing is for sure...

whatever we sow into them...

WE SHALL REAP!

Sowing into the things of this world, and into

the lust of the flesh and the pride of this life,

will reap nothing that matters in light of eternity,

and often erects a wall between us and God.

Let's sow faith, prayer, kindness, goodness, self control,
patience, joy, love, peace, discipline, a good work ethic,

and believe that the work we have is the work

of the Lord, and do it heartily, as unto Him.

And we shall reap an incredibly bountiful harvest that is

blessed by God!

What could be better?

Have a blessed week,

Hugs,
