S – Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a person sows he will also reap, ⁸ because the one who sows to his flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. ⁹ Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:7–9 CSB


O – Commentary:
First, a solemn warning is sounded that God cannot be mocked. No man can snub (myktērizetai, lit., “turn up the nose at”) God whose rule, a man reaps what he sows, is immutable. Each sower decides what his harvest will be. If a person sows to please his sinful nature, that is, if he spends his money to indulge the flesh, he will reap a harvest that will fade into oblivion. On the other hand if he uses his funds to support the Lord’s work, or sows to please the Spirit, and promotes his own spiritual growth, he will reap a harvest that will last forever.
“Galatians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures


A – Sowing and reaping is a foundational principle.  It applies to all of our physical, mental and spiritual lives.  In our daily sowing opportunities, we must be intentional about what, where, when and who.



R – Heavenly Father, we stand in awe of you.  Help us to sow good seeds today in every facet of our lives.  We want to sow to the Spirit and not our flesh.  We trust You to bring the harvest at the right time to reap. Continue to help us grow in our faith.
