Scripture:
Galatians 6:7-9 7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 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. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Observation:
What we invest our time in, we will definitely reap the outcome…good or bad. Sometimes we cannot not see instant gratification from our hard work…but it will come if we do not give up.
Application:
When we lived in Portland, I struggled with this so much. I felt that everything that I was doing for God was in vain...I seriously wanted to give up. “MY” plans were not going the way the “I” wanted them to…all the plans that I made for my husband did not go the way that I planned either. Then everything crumbled…all I wanted to do was give up. I’m glad I didn’t.
Funny…God knew what He was doing…IMAGINE THAT??!! I was doubtful when He called us to Bend…it just goes to show how WRONG I can be sometimes. All those plans that I had made before were fulfilled in BEND!..and are still being fulfilled. Just goes to show that God doesn’t use the same calendar that we use…I’m not even sure He uses a calendar!
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for reminding me that I can’t do this myself….what a mess I would be in if I could! YOUR WAYS ARE NOT MY WAYS, NOR YOUR THOUGHTS MY THOUGHTS! Thank You for being an ever-changing but ever-faithful God!
