Reaping The Harvest
Reaping The Harvest
This is harvest time.
Time when the farmers reap the harvest of all their work for the year
time to bring in the rewards for all that has been planted
We all should look forward to a harvest time
What will you harvest?

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
God is not mocked
this whole idea of harvest is His idea
He made the world and everything in it
He invented seeds and planting and growing and harvest
He could have made seeds random if He so chose
but He didn’t
He made things to reproduce “after their kind”
He established patterns - to be observed and followed
God will not be mocked
We Reap what we Sow
If we could plant tomato seeds and grow corn, then we could mock God’s plan - but we cannot
we can only reap what we sow -
even “genetically modified seeds”
Life works this way also, as we learn hear
Whatever we plant is what we will reap
So we should always plant the kind of seeds that we want to harvest at the end
Harvest is the end of the season
It is to late at harvest time to decide you wanted to grow something different
You should decide what you want to reap when the harvest of your life comes
You should also decide what you want to reap at the harvests between now and then
8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

Sowing to satisfy our sinful nature leads to corruption
only sowing to please ourselves will lead to corruption
Sowing to please God will lead to everlasting life
Who wants everlasting life?
What are you sowing today?
Plant what you want to grow
Want a lot, plant a lot
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Don’t get tired of doing good
When the right time comes, you will reap what you sowed
when the right time comes you will see who reaps what ()
If you sow what is good, you won’t be disappointed
If you don’t give up.
So do good, plant good and expect to reap good

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
Every chance you get, do what is good, to everyone
everywhere you go
every chance you get
avoid evil
love good
and especially help those who are following God with you
