“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked—for whatever a man sows, that also he shall reap.For the one sowing to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but the one sowing to the Ruach will from the Ruach reap eternal life.So let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:7–9 (TLV)

There is a quiet law God built into life: what we sow, we will eventually reap. Paul reminds us that nothing in our lives is wasted—every choice is a seed. Words spoken in faith, acts of obedience, time spent in prayer, or even hidden struggles of doing what is right all become seed sown into the soil of our future.

​

The warning is simple but serious: deception begins when we think we can plant one thing and harvest another. But God cannot be mocked. Life is consistent with what we consistently sow.

​

Yet this passage is not only a warning—it is also an encouragement. We are told not to grow weary in doing good. Why? Because harvest does not come instantly. Seeds often work underground long before anything is seen above the surface. What feels unseen is not wasted; it is growing.

​

So the call is endurance. Keep sowing prayer when you feel nothing changing. Keep sowing obedience when it is difficult. Keep sowing goodness when it is unnoticed. In due time, God promises a harvest if we do not give up.

​

This connects deeply with the call in Haggai 1:8 to “go up and build.” Rebuilding God’s house—whether in our hearts or our lives—happens through consistent, faithful planting of the right seeds.

​

What good seed is God asking you to keep planting, even if you haven’t seen the harvest yet?
