I have always only considered this Scripture to be about sowing spiritual seeds and reaping spiritual rewards. But in my Joyce Mayer devotional this morning, my eyes were opened to see that this verse means so much more. It’s that word “whatever” again. Whatever can mean your words and your actions. If you are always speaking positive words, then that is what you will reap. That is what will come back to you. If, however, you gossip and say nasty things about others, then that is what will happen to you. If you treat people kindly and with gentleness and respect, then that is how you will be treated. There is so much in my life that I regret…so many words and deeds that I cannot take back. Today, in my later years of life, I can look back and repent but I am still reaping what I sowed. God has been very merciful and has shielded me from much of what I should have reaped. Nevertheless, I want the younger generation to realize that this is not a trite saying from the Bible. It is God’s absolute truth and He will bring it to pass! Living for God may not always be easy, but the fruits that come from it are righteousness, peace and joy! (Romans 14:17) Have a blessed day and sow good seeds as you go out today!
