Sow What You Reap : Verse For Today 17th February 2020

1. RECEIVE.

Prepare your heart to hear from God. Try a simple prayer like this…
Heavenly Father, please help me understand this Bible verse.
…and then read the Verse For Today :

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9 ESV

2. REFLECT

Ask yourself what this verse might be trying to say, and think deeply on your answers. Here are just a few examples we might get from today’s verse........

Jesus expects me to share my faith with other people.
When I demonstrate God’s love, that draws others to Him.
I should work to remove things from my life that don’t show God’s love.
It is often through challenges that God grows my capacity to love others.

This verse shows me to keep doing good, even though others are not. God has shown me that the wicked do not go unpunished. The last few days I have been consumed with anger at what was happening  around me. 

I took my eyes off the cross and was focusing too much on what others were doing. I always talk about Karma and this verse has reflected this too me. We reep what we sow so don't get weary and give up. I nearly did last night I broke down and I cried out to God and this verse today is my answer. 

Because I was holding onto anger it caused my depression to get worse, just what satan wants. But he is a liar. He was saying I was right to feel that way when it was not. That's how I've been in bed since Friday. He is stealing my joy.

I just read my lion bites for today and just loved this verse. This is exactly what I need to do......

Ezekiel 18:31
Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit.

3. RESPOND.

Use this verse as the basis for a prayer.

Heavenly Father thank you so much for hearing my crys last night. Your Mercies are new every day. And I am so glad you are my Saviour and Redeemer.

You have shown me we reap what we sow and I want to sow a good harvest for you Father. I know you let the rain fall on the good and the bad but you will not let the unjust get away with it. 

I am also glad you have corrected me, because I was giving up and fallen back into my old ways and I don't want that Father. I am living on your promises that you have a plan for me one that will prosper and bring me joy if I just stay true to You and myself.

Because I want to be the person you have made me to be and what I was doing wasn't linning up with what you had in mind.

So I thank you for opening my eyes of my heart Lord so that I can see you more. Because I want to have a good harvest of Faith, Hope and Love

And as your Son said  " And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Amen.
