What Goes Around, Comes Around
Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7
The world has a saying based on this principle, “what goes around, comes around.” We reap what we sow. Using modern terms, we harvest what we plant. And the more we plant, the larger our harvest will be, good or bad. The Bible is a book of principles and within there is a similar saying – we reap, what we sow.
Too many people think God “moves in mysterious ways” and any spiritual blessing we may receive is just like winning the lottery — entirely by chance. But the Bible teaches us that the kingdom of God operates on the “seed principle.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 says ‘remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.’
So the wise course of action is to continually plant that which you would like to reap. In other words give out what you would like to receive. If you desire respect, respect others. Would you like people to give you things? Then continually look for opportunities to give to others.
Fortunately, because of the sacrifice of Jesus on our behalf, we can receive forgiveness and cleansing from our sins and not reap the harvest of death and failure we deserve.
GALATIANS 3:13 ‘But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing.’
