"Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (Gal. 6:7-8)

A farmer posted a "No Trespassing" sign to keep the neighborhood boys from crossing his property. One embittered young man vowed revenge. One night he walked all over the man's farm with a sack of Johnson Grass seed and sowed it in every field. Johnson Grass spreads rapidly and is a weed that is almost impossible to eradicate.

A few years later, the boy married the farmer's only daughter. In a short time, the old man died, and the boy inherited the farm. He spent the rest of his life fighting Johnson Grass.

We reap what we sow both physically and spiritually, both now and in eternity.
