What Do You Expect To Reap?

 

Today's Verse is Proverbs 10:2

     Treasures of wickedness profit nothing:

      But righteousness delivereth from death.

    In this, we are invited to examine ourselves and the things that we do (even why we do them) that we might understand what profit or lack thereof our labours return to us, even as Paul also challenged, What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. And when we understand that we reap according to what we sow, we have additional motivation to follow after not the flesh but the Spirit, even the Holy Spirit which we were given when we accepted the gift of God though Jesus Christ. And when others see the change God has wrought in us, we see not only the profit for ourselves but our own gain may also cause others to repent. Even we are told later: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; /And he that winneth souls is wise. Therefore let each of us examine ourselves and the things that we do, abstaining from those things that profit not, knowing now that we have the liberty to do those things that lead to Life. Amen.

To God be the Glory
