Galatians 6:7-9
7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. 8 Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

The other day I was on a mission and watched as women were in the fields harvesting. I really couldn’t tell what plants they were harvesting but I am sure that in the spring they were out there planting them. Such it is in our life. Whatever we are doing will have a consequence. Life is like Newton’s law of motion. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The thing is that we as humans get tired of doing good for others because we don’t see what good it is doing us right now. Many times we do things for others because of selfish reasons. This is not what God wants from us. He wants us to help others and do good out of our pure love for Him. He will reward us when the time is right.
