TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life”
Galatians 6:7–8
TODAY’S WORD:
Whether you realize it or not, everything you are experiencing in your life today is a direct result of the seeds you’ve sown in your past. Today, you are planting seeds for the harvest in your future. Just as the farmer expects a crop from the seeds he sows, we can expect a harvest from the seeds we’ve sown, good or bad. That’s why we have to be deliberate about the seeds we are sowing. We have to wake up every day and set our minds on God’s Word and choose to speak His truth over our lives. We have to constantly evaluate our actions to make sure we are depositing good seeds so we can reap a good harvest in the future.
Our churches, families and all our friends and numerous folks from our Grantham community have come together with Abby’s family and are sowing seeds by sponsoring and having a Lunch, supper and auction today at Eureka Christian Church to help raise money for a liver transplant for one of our youth we love dearly ~ Abby Keen. All of us have affectionately taken on the name of “Team Abby”! You can find out more about Abby and what we are working to accomplish at this website set up for her: http://www.cotaforabigailk.com/ If you are not in our immediate area I ask can you take just one minute to pray for this teenager and her family? We have choices and some can really make a difference in people’s lives. Take time today to think about what type of seeds you are sowing in your life and those around you.
Selah people’ and friends why don’t you take some time right now to ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and mind? See if there are any negative seeds that you’ve sown in the past that need to be uprooted. Be deliberate about planting the Word of God in the soil of your heart. Sow good seeds into your future so you can reap the harvest of blessing God has designed for you!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
“Father God, thank You for the system of sowing and reaping. Thank You for giving me good seed to sow! I ask that You search my heart and mind and show me where to sow my seed so I can reap the abundant harvest You have for me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
In Christ,
Patrick
