Sometimes wisdom does not have to be all that wise.

Read Galatians 6:7-10 and journal your thoughts

Today’s Scripture talks about reaping and sowing, basically Paul is telling us we reap what we sow. This is like saying if you plant a tomato seed, then don’t be surprised when you get a tomato. You would not plant a tomato seed and expect a cucumber, that makes no sense. This is simple cause and effect right?

This is the type of wisdom Paul is talking about here. Essentially he is saying you create the type of world you live in. If you live lives of selfishness, destruction, and hatred then do not be surprised when you are met with selfishness, destruction, and hatred.

On the other hand, if you live lives of loving your neighbor, then don’t be surprised if you are met with love in your time of need. If you live out helping others, then don’t be surprised when others help you in your time of need. If you live a life of comforting others, then don’t be surprised when others comfort you when you need it.

Sometimes this seems like common sense stuff, but sometimes we get so consumed with the everyday stuff in our lives that we forget about it. When we live our life in the Spirit, then we will reap the Spirit.

Today take some time and meditate on what it means to live in the Spirit in every part of your life.
