REAP WHAT YOU SOW

REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Gal. 6:7 Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!  NLT

      Satan wants to lead you astray.  He wants to convince you that you can ignore God and His Word and it doesn’t matter.  He wants you to believe that there are no real consequences to leaving God out of your life.  He doesn’t want you to know that no one can ignore God and get away with it.  He wants you to believe that you can stray from God and get away with it. 

      We always reap what we sow.  Sometimes we live with the consequences of our behavior in this life and sometimes we will pay the price later.  Either way, we reap what we sow. 

       There is an important truth here that we must know.  When the Lord saves us from our sin, He doesn’t always remove the consequences of our sins from us.  We often are victims of our sinful behavior.  Some relationships that are broken will never be fixed.  Some health issues will linger and haunt us the rest of our lives.  Some penalties to society must be paid.  Sometimes we will pay for the rest of our lives for the sins we committed.  The Lord helps us deal with the consequences of our sinful choices, but He doesn’t always remove them from us.

       Take life seriously; take faith seriously.  Each of us reaps what we sow.  Live to please God always and you will not be burdened in life with the consequences of bad choices.
