A Mixed Bag

Galatians 6:7-8 - "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life."

Our hearts are divided between wanting to serve the Lord, and wanting to sin. Our seed bag that we sow from is a mixed bag. After you plant good seed, you have to tend, cultivate, and wait. But we want payback right now, so we plant bad seeds. Satan maybe gives us some junk food right away, but then strong weeds grow up that choke us to death. Sow righteousness, and wait for God’s timing, with faith. We are called to plow in hope because our labor is not in vain.
