We reap what we sow. I never had any intention to tell this story until five days ago. Just can't afford to rob Him of His glory. Two years ago, my family offered a missionary couple a place to live. Got to be honest here, I was sitting in my room the other day picturing the idea of someone offering me a place so I can save heaps. :P Well, five days ago, I was momentarily speechless when a couple whom I barely know offered me a place to live in Melbourne! I serve an amazingly faithful God.
I am reminded that apart from the need to show mercy and kindness, we constantly have a choice whether to invest in the flesh or the Spirit because we reap what we sow and we reap in proportion to what we sow. Sometimes, the seed that is planted does not bear fruit immediately. There are seasons in life just as there are seasons to nature and it takes time for the seed to take root and bear fruit. We will certainy reap what we sow. Perhaps at a different place and time? Indeed, the Lord of the harvest is in charge, not the labourers :)
2 Corinthians 9:6 "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
Galatians 6: 7-8 "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."
