Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
One autumn afternoon I drove past a field where a farmer had parked some massive machinery by the side of the road. A yellow caution sign read: Harvest in Progress. As I glanced over at the field, I knew instantly what the farmer had planted several months agotiny kernels of corn. I knew this because he was preparing to drive his harvesting equipment through acres of mature cornstalks.
While it may seem obvious that planting corn leads to harvesting corn, we sometimes deny the relationship between sowing and reaping in our spiritual lives. The apostle Paul wrote, Do not be deceived . . . ; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Gal. 6:7). Living to please our flesh yields corruption in the form of wanting what isnt ours, self-centeredness, and even substance abuse (5:19-21). Walking with the Spirit produces peace, kindness, and self-control (5:22-23). By Gods grace, we can choose to sow to the Spirit and reap eternal life (6:8).
Suppose Jesus declared today harvest day in our lives, and He asked us to gather up the yield of our everyday choices over the past year. What would we have to show Him?
Read: Galatians 6:1-10
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
