Galatians 6 Message Bible
7-8 Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.
Galatians 6: 7-8 NLT
Don't be misled--you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
This morning I woke up with many versions of what the LORD put on my heart to say. I mean I can actually preach a message of “Reaping and Sowing” from different scriptures from the Bible to relate to real life experiences. However, this morning his message of reaping and sowing was very clear. It’s about his Justice in an unjust world, and his disposition to our current state of affairs.
In my life, I have learned not to vindicate myself due to the fact that I do not always have the back story to the cover story, and that my actions have the potential of bringing about a greater tragedy.
Friends, our view of our quandaries are limited. They do not always reach the depth of the deception or expose the frailty of someone’s state of mind, so that is why NO MATTER how much we must endure from the sinful nature of others, we must allow GOD to render justice as he sees fit. We must trust the LORD and stand on his WORD that NO WEAPON (lie, setup, gossip, slander, backbiting, backstabbing, cheating, misdirection, sabotage, or oppression) turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken! –Isaiah 54:17
I believe this! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!! And know that my Father will not allow the plans of the enemies and those he use against us to prosper. These are the benefits of being sons and daughters. Amen. Friends, you’re not victims, so do not feel like woe is me again. The LORD has chosen you (us), his faithful servants to be his reason for rendering his justice upon those who choose to continue to abuse their power or positions. He placed some of us at the bottom to expose the top. Amen! He placed some of us in the middle to bring correction to a broken system, and he placed some of us at the top to make all the crooked paths straight…Amen!
I encourage us all to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in every conversation, every decision, and in every way as we go forward representing God’s Justice.
In His Love and Service,
