Reaping What You SowThere are many ways to invest our lives, but none offers greater reward than devoting ourselves to the pursuit of righteousness. Every area of our lives should reflect the holiness of God that is ours by salvation; even our thoughts; so that nothing we think about would be inappropriate for a child of God; even our actions, so that our lives will demonstrate that we serve a Holy God; our integrity, so that we are above reproach in all our relationships.
Are you taking God's righteousness in your life for granted? Righteousness is something you must allow the Holy Spirit to work out in your life. Instead of sowing holy thoughts, are you allowing evil and sinful thoughts to grow in your mind? Are you allowing lust to grow unchecked within you.? Does the enmity(division), bitterness, jealousy, or unforgiveness remain in your life? Jesus said if we seek first God and His righteousness, everything else will follow.
There is a great reward in sowing righteousness. What are you presently doing to plant holiness in your life: How are you putting righteousness in your mind so that your thoughts are holy? How are you cultivating righteousness in your relationships so that you can maintain your integrity? Are you instilling righteousness in your activities so that your life is above reproach? If you want to harvest righteousness in your life tomorrow, you must plant seeds of righteousness TODAY!
My Prayer: Lord, keep me fit for the Master's Plan, nourish my soul daily so that I can consistently sow seeds of righteousness in every area of my life and in the lives of others. Direct my feet to the rich soil, so that I may sow in abundance and witness the harvest of fruit in which it will bring for your Glory. Holy Spirit keep me in check at all times, so that in my pursuit of righteousness, my thoughts, my actions and my integrity will line up with God's Holy word. I Love you Lord, and I trust that this prayer has been heard, thank you my Lord and Savior in Jesus Name.......amen
