A man soweth.

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬ KJV). Life is given to us by God. Along with this life will come things that we will sow into, whether they are good or not so good. The results of this sowing will come through reaping. The apostle Paul begins this scripture by saying, "be not deceived". He is speaking to the believer here. We as believers must not allow our faith to be removed from Jesus Christ and His finished work at the cross, for God is not mocked. Every man who sows into this world will reap from this world. We are destined to face death sooner or later, but it is what we sow into while we are alive that determines our everlasting reaping, whether in Hell or in Heaven. He who sows selfishly to his flesh will reap corruption, "death". There are many things that are grabbing at us and trying to get the attention of the flesh in this late hour. If a man desires to sow his entire life in the things of the flesh, the results are ruin and decay. It is not the hour to be depending on self to get us through. Self is fading away. "But he who sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (vs. 8). Life is too short to be trying to get ahead by ourselves. Christ has done it for us already. God bless you. Amen
