WORD OF THE DAY:
     BE NOT DECEIVED 2

 

     Last issue, we looked at not being deceived: evil companionship ruins good morals.
     Today, we will look at be not deceived: what you sow is what you reap.

 

     Galatians 6:7

          Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever
          a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

     Mocked is from a root word meaning "moo," "bellow," roar," and is from a derivative
     word meaning "snout as that whence lowing proceeds; to make mouths at, to ridicule, to
     mock." God is so funny with the words He uses in His Word to teach us!

     What a mind- picture this word conjures up for me! Who has seen a little kid making faces
     at another person, perhaps behind the others person's back, with a waggling tongue and
     squinched up eyes, mocking the daylights out of them? I have not only seen kids do this,
     I once did it too! God is not mocked by our self-deception. But when we are deceived, it
     is like we are trying to mock God, like a little kid mocks another.

     The seedtime, harvest time principle is alive and well, whether we believe it or not!

 

     Genesis 8:22

          While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
          harvest, and cold and heat, and summer
          and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

 

     Whatever a person plants is what he will reap. We have all heard the old saying, "What
     goes around, comes around."

     If you plant corn in good ground your crop will be corn. If you plant love in good
     ground, you will receive love. If you plant contempt, you will receive contempt. If
     you sow seeds of sin, you will reap the harvest of sin: corruption. If you sow to
     the spirit, you will reap of the spirit: life everlasting. If you plant your finances
     in good ground, you will reap more abundance. If you sow words of gossip, you will
     receive words of gossip aimed against you back!If you plant zucchini, you will be
     over run with zucchini!

     One seed planted in good ground will produce many times more seeds. Think of corn, for
     example. One corn seed planted in good ground will produce a stalk of corn with many
     ears of corn on them, each ear having many more seeds on them besides that! Cool!
     Give one thing away and you get a hundred-fold back! That sounds like a major gain,
     not a loss!

 

     Galatians 6:8, 9

          For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh
          reap corruption; but he that soweth to the
          Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

          9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in
          due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

 

     Like for all planted seeds, there is a seedtime, (a planting time), and a harvest time, (the
     time in which we will reap what ever it is we have sown). A farmer patiently waits for his
     crops to come in, in it's pre-determined, God designed season. So must we, too, wait for
     our harvest to come in. Let us not be weary, or become relaxed about sowing good seeds.
     Let us not grow impatient before our harvest comes in. We may not see our desired
     results for a while but be assured, harvest time is coming. Do not quit. Amen.

     -Carol Kenreigh

COMMENTS

     I just thought I would take a moment to greet you and thank God for you and others
     "out there " in the internet who still are living and loving God's Word, and
     endeavoring to be faithful.

     As you say, it is wonderful to assemble ourselves together when possible,
     unfortunately there is nothing here in Portand, Oregon that we know of,
     which still upholds the true Word without bitterness, evil speaking, etc.
     which is of no profit.

     As you say, Christ in us is a great comfort. And "this world is not my home,
     I'm just a-passin' through" anyway.

     I'll see you Up There.

     God Bless,
