As Long As the Earth Remains

Introduction

Galatians 6:7 (KJV 1900) - Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Too often when this verse is quoted, it is done so with a negative feeling! It’s like be careful what you say or do because you will reap whatever exactly what you sow!

Galatians 6:8–9 (KJV 1900) - 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.

But, according to the next verse it works both ways.

Sow to the flesh - reap corruption

Sow to the Spirit - reap life everlasting

That’s not too bad! Now, watch this in the next verse . . .

Galatians 6:9 (KJV 1900) - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

In due seasons means: I have planted good seed in good soil - my harvest will come - in due season!

There is a time to plant.

There is a time to stand.

There is a time to reap!

Due season is almost always later than my flesh wants it to be!
