“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Hosea 8:7).
This law is as real in the Kingdom of God as it is in the world of men. What is planted will be harvested. Whoever sows deceit will reap deceit; whoever sows impurity will reap its fruits; whoever chooses the path of vice will reap destruction. This truth cannot be erased or circumvented—it remains in force. There is no more solemn teaching in the Scriptures than this: life responds to the choices made before God.
It makes no sense to expect protection, blessings, and guidance from the Lord while living in disregard of what He has commanded. God reveals His plans to the obedient; the Father does not send rebels to the Son. Disobedience closes doors, while faithfulness opens the way to life. Whoever insists on sowing rebellion cannot expect to reap salvation.
Therefore, examine what you have been sowing. Align your life with the Creator’s commands and choose obedience as a daily practice. The harvest follows the seed—and only those who sow faithfulness will reap peace, protection, and eternal life. Adapted from D. L. Moody. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Father, help me to live with awareness before You, knowing that every choice produces fruit. May I never deceive myself into thinking I can sow disobedience and reap blessings.
My God, give me a sensitive heart to obey in every area of my life. May I reject every path of rebellion and embrace what You have ordained for my good.
Oh, beloved Lord, I thank You for reminding me that obedience brings life. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is the holy seed that produces fruits of peace. Your commandments are the sure path to the eternal harvest. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
