Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Do you know that the bible tells us that whatever we sow we will also reap? To sow means to plant seeds and to reap means to gather up the harvest of what we have planted.

If we sow apple seeds, what are we going to reap? That’s right apples. If we sow apple seeds, we won’t reap oranges, will we?

If we sow tomato seeds, what are we going to reap? That’s right we will reap tomatoes. If we plant tomato seeds, we won’t reap carrots, will we? No, we will reap what we sow.

In this verse the bible is teaching us something more important than planting seeds. It’s teaching us about our behavior.

If you’re mean and hateful to people, how do you think they will act toward you? They might be mean back to you, but they certainly won’t want to be your friend, will they? Do you like being around people who are mean and hateful? I don’t.

If you want people to like you and be your friend, how should you treat them? You should be nice and kind, shouldn’t you? If you sow kindness, you reap friends.

The bible teaches us how God wants us to behave. God want us to sow love, kindness, and honesty in our lives. If we do, we will reap God’s blessings.

Remember, we reap what we sow.
