Galatians 6:7-10 You Can’t Fool God!
“Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.”
Ever feel like nothing you do is enough or that it counts for anything? Some days, no matter how hard you try to be virtuous, no matter how you pursue holiness, you feel like a total failure. You might find yourself in job situations where colleagues take credit for your work and your ideas. Perhaps you have recently learned that someone you have trusted has been systematically attempting to destroy your reputation. At this point, you might feel like giving up. But please don’t!
What we readily forget is that God is the One who sees everything and God is the One who knows the human heart. No matter how things appear to us, God is still on the Throne and God still keeps score. What does God say about these problems?
“Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return. The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”
When people behave carelessly and think that they are getting away with their bad behavior, they fail to realize that ultimately, God will reward us. When our main aim is to glorify God and to please Him, God will reward us in wonderful ways we cannot even anticipate. And as believers in Jesus Christ, we can trust in His promises of eternal life.
Trusting in those promises, we may persist and go forward. “Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to the family of faith.”
No matter how tired or discouraged you might be, hang in there and trust! God sees and will give us the strength we need to fulfill His perfect Will for our lives. Knowing, these truths, we can continue to do good to all those around us, particularly to other believers.
PRAYER: Father God, thank You for loving us and for caring for us. Lord, help us to cling to Your precious promises that we will reap righteousness when we sow righteousness. In the mighty and precious Name of King Jesus. Amen.
