Daily God Walk - Promises Volume Seven

​We Harvest What We Sow

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, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.   - Galatians 6:7-8
 
 Some people just don’t get it. They keep sowing into their fleshly desires then wonder why they are spiritually empty. Just because the pleasure of the moment feels good now doesn’t mean that you are going to feel good about yourself later.

Here’s something interesting: I’ve never had a spiritual experience that left me feeling empty or cheated, but virtually every time I answer the call of the flesh to indulge some pleasure I feel empty and cheated afterwards.

Knowing that, why do we keep going back to the well that leaves us thirsty? It’s because we allow ourselves to be deceived by our fleshly desire. We aren’t looking to the harvest, we’re just looking at what will give us the most right now. The deception is that the flesh will promise to give more than it can give. What we desire is spiritual fulfillment and we are robbed of that when we seek it through answering fleshly desires.

Jesus said, “The thief comes to rob, kill and destroy, but I have come to give you life to the full” (John 10:10). God has promised us a fulfilled life if we are willing to sow as the Spirit leads rather than following after the one who robs us of our joy.
 
Prayer:  OK Lord; I get it. Give me the insight to look to the harvest and sow the seeds that will produce life. In Jesus name, amen.   

Message:  God has promised us a fulfilled life if we are willing to sow as the Spirit leads rather than following after the one who robs us of our joy. What we desire is spiritual fulfillment and we are robbed of that when we seek it through answering fleshly desires.
  
Affirmation:  I do not seek fulfillment by following the desire of my flesh. I sow righteous deeds and I reap righteous joy.
 
Reflection:  What do you think is meant by the statement, “The deception is that the flesh will promise to give more than it can give?”
