Scripture: Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Devotional: As we have examined our habits over the past few weeks, you may be asking: why do we care about our habits at all? Well, our lives are the sum total of all of the small decisions that we make. So, while it may feel as though some of the small habits we are creating or breaking are not important, they can add up to a big change.
Our Scripture for today tells us this exact thing. We will reap what we sow. Meaning, that there will be future consequences for your present actions. Good and bad. If your present actions include destructive habits, you will feel the consequences of those decisions in your life. If your present actions include life-giving habits, you will feel the benefits of those decisions in your life. The choice is yours. Choose to sow seeds of life that will grow and bloom as evidence of Christ in your heart.
Reflect:
- Look back on your life from five years ago. What habits have you developed, good or bad, since then? How have they impacted you in the present day?
