GOD’S CREATION FUNCTIONS on the basis of laws…

It’s true in the physical world as well as the spiritual one.  You may deny the fact that what goes up must come down, but if you jump out of a second-story window, the law of gravity will take effect.

We cannot be indifferent or ignore the laws of God.  And He tells us very clearly that what we sow, we will also reap.

At least half the problems I encounter during marital counseling were sown during premarital relationship days.  Long before they said their vows, they were planting seeds that would sprout in the new soil of marriage.

God’s laws of sowing and reaping are fixed; you cannot ignore them without paying a price.  I have grown up hearing about the sexual revolution and the concept of “free love.”  Yet in every counseling situation with young people who have involved themselves in immorality, there has been a price to pay.  And sometimes a terrible one.

Let me make the modest suggestion that you engrave the following “laws of the harvest” on your spiritual forehead!  Everyone will reap exactly what he sows.

It seems that it is always easier to grow weeds than it is to grow vegetables.  My mom taught me that if you plant corn, you get corn.  If you plant potatoes, you harvest spuds and only spuds…not cantaloupes, not peaches, not turnips.  Please remember that your choices will determine your harvest (Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6).  Ron Mehl, “Sowing and Reaping,” Just in Case I Can’t Be There, 159-161

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”  Galatians 6:7
