Galatians 6:7-10
Excerpted from: How to Know We Love ChristBecause Christ said what He did, we can understand that it is not impossible to redirect our energies and feelings. If we tie Galatians 6:7-10 together with Colossians 3:1-4 and Revelation 2:1-7, we can see that Paul was essentially saying that the rewards are in the doing—in the works. "I know your works." Christ said. The solution is, "you need to re-direct your energies, go back to the devotion that you formally had. And, if that devotion is there, if that love is there, then the right works will come and you will overcome."
God's way is such that it begins producing the good soon, not late. And the apostle is saying that if we begin sowing the right seed, then we will begin to reap the fruit of the harvest that will come, because God's Word always produces. God says that His Word will not go forth and return empty.
This is His Word, and He is telling us what to do, and we can be assured that there will be production of the fruit if we sow the right things, if we turn our energies back to the way they should be.
Galatians 6:7-10
Excerpted from: It's Enough! Now, Lord, Take My Life!Please turn over to Galatians 6, verse 7. It takes God's love flowing through us to make a personal sacrifice of time, money, and energy without strings attached, without expecting anything in return. But when we serve with a generous attitude, God's Spirit gives us peace and satisfaction. If we plant goodness, we will harvest happiness and peace.
An excellent way to overcome feelings of self-pity is by being generous. It could be your time, your money, your effort, it could be any number of things. Whatever you have the ability to give to someone else. We should find ways to assist others when we become overly fixated on ourselves. Perhaps it involves visiting the sick or comforting someone who is upset. It could be writing a letter of encouragement, calling someone who is lonely, or helping a widow.
It is about bringing happiness to others. Giving is a natural unbreakable law that also brings joy to the giver. The key is to focus less on ourselves.
Galatians 6:7-8
Excerpted from: Every Action Has a ReactionThe second one is clearly established by Galatians 6:7-8; and that is that whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. It is an illustration of the "kind after kind" principle. One cannot get cabbage from Brussels sprout seeds, even though they look somewhat like each other. (I do not mean the seeds look alike, but the fruit.) Cabbage is a lot bigger. Brussels sprouts are just about an inch in diameter. But, when you look at them, they look very similar. But if you plant Brussels sprout seeds, you are not going to get cabbages. And when you plant radishes, you are not going to get carrots. Even though seeds may look similar to one another, they are not going to produce one another. Whatever a person sows, that he is also going to reap.
Galatians 6:7-8
Excerpted from: How to Know We Love ChristBut notice the exhortation. What Paul is writing here is, he is saying in effect, "Hang on." He is saying, hang on, because, "if you sow the right things, you will reap the right things." There is always a period of time, a delay between the sowing of seed and the reaping of the harvest. He is telling these people, "Do not give up! Keep sowing the right seeds!"
