Sow On

"For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." Galatians 6:8 

The metaphor of sowing and reaping is used often throughout the New Testament. Believers are called to sow fruits of the spirit, righteousness (Proverbs 11:18), and things that bring life (Galatians 6:8). As we sow on good ground, God cultivates what we sow to bring glory and honor to him. We should never sow in hopes of getting anything in return. We sow simply because the omniscient and omnipotent God says that we ought to. As we build up others, we become less selfish, more giving, and exercise obedience to our Heavenly Father. Are you sowing in the flesh or in the spirit? Happy Monday! :)
