My Daily Devotional

Do you realize just how much you can have an influence on others, and also your future? Your life, your actions, your good deeds, your words, and all your behavior has a lasting influence on others that you come into contact with, and also determines what your own future holds. Just as the Bible tells us in the scripture above, the way you live your life each day, can have a tremendous influence on others around you, and determines the kind of harvest your future has in store for you. When you sow the kind of seeds that the Bible tells you to sow each day, you are determining your future harvests. Think about what you do today, the words you speak, the kindness you show to others, the choices you make and let them be the things that God would look with favor upon. Sow good seeds where ever you go, and then expect a good harvest

You Reap What You Sow

“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, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
Galatians 6:7-8

Last night at one of my board meetings, we spent a few minutes discussing how our organization had grown over the past few years. Someone mentioned the seed money that was invested at the beginning, and how it had grown and multiplied to become the organization it was today. This is the way that God wants each of our lives to be like, as the small seeds that we sow each day needs to grow and multiply and produce bountiful harvest in whatever we do. If we sow the seed of diligence, honesty and hard work in our jobs, our harvest will be a promotion. If we sow the seed of love in our family, our harvest will be children that will love us in return, and result in a happy and joyful family. If we sow the seed of giving with our tithes, our harvest will be financial blessings bestowed upon ourselves, and our storehouses will be overflowing. The Bible tells us “whatever we sow, so shall we reap”. We need to remember that everything we have came from God, and that everything we will receive in the future will come from God. He is our total source for everything in our life, both now and in the future. God wants us to be blessed in everything we do, and wants us to sow seeds of righteousness, wherever we go and in whatever we do, so that he can bless us. The secret of our future is in our hands, and is determined by the seeds we sow today. The seeds we sow today can create any future we want. We need to always keep the principal that “whatever we sow, so shall we reap” in our minds, and plant good seeds, and expect a good harvest from God, in whatever we do.
