Day 244
Genesis 8:22
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. “
God said while the earth is in existence, there are certain unalterable natural laws that will operate. One of those laws is seedtime and harvest. Whatever is sown in our lives, we will reap.
Today, we are reaping the results of seeds we and our parents have sown. The grace of God causes some of our unwanted crops to fail and helps us cope with some undesirable ones that come forth. As we acknowledge that this spiritual law is a permanent one that will affect our lives and the lives of those we are associated with, let us be careful how we plant today. When Jesus encouraged us to do to others as we would have them do to us, He was reinforcing this principle of sowing and reaping. What we do to others will come back to us.
We should endeavor to treat people well, as we interact with them today. We should also purposely do some good deeds to bless others and, at the same time guarantee blessing for ourselves and our families in the future. Not only will we be planting for a good crop in the future, but we will also be experiencing the joy of giving while we are planting.
I thank God for the blessings I enjoy today, because of the seeds my parents and I have sown before. I thank Him for the grace that has saved me from some undesirable crops that were headed my way. I thank Him for the grace to cope with some of the negative things I have reaped. I will deliberately sow good seeds today that will bless me and my family in the days to come.
