The Law of Sowing and Reaping
*see below for a note on source James 4:13-17 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money." Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil. Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins. Today we are reaping the harvest of the seeds we sowed yesterday. What does that mean for you? For me it means that I am in the midst of experiencing the harvest of the commitment I made in 1992, the commitment to make Jesus really the Lord of my life. I had already professed my faith publicly, but it wasn’t until I was out on my own that I actually made my faith my own. I decided I wouldn’t live a double life anymore...
