Just as there are laws in the physical realm, so there are laws in the spiritual realm. One found in Galatians 6:7 is the universal Law of the Harvest: “… for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
God’s Harvest Law | Devotional
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Galatians 6:7
Why are Isaac Newton’s three Laws of Motion (inertia, resultant force, reciprocal action) and his Law of Universal Gravitation (Law of Gravity) called laws? Why is Michael Faraday’s Law of Induction (law of electromagnetism) called a law? Because they are universal physical certainties that have never been proved not to govern the situations to which they apply.
Just as there are laws in the physical realm, so there are laws in the spiritual realm. One found in Galatians 6:7 is the universal Law of the Harvest: “… for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
That spiritual law is based on observations from the first-century world of agriculture: plant a seed and, absent unnatural forces, it will germinate and lead to a harvest.
Paul applied that universal law to spiritually-based actions. If we sow a godly action, we will reap a godly blessing. If we sow an ungodly action, we reap godly discipline or judgment.
Strangely, people who know the Law of Gravity applies to them feel they are exempt from the effects of God’s Harvest Law.
Before you act this week, decide what kind of harvest you want to reap—and sow accordingly.
