"For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."
-Galatians 6:8-9 (NASB)
-Galatians 6:8-9 (NASB)
Beginning a new year can be like standing at the starting line of a marathon. The resolutions and plans for a productive year are fresh in our minds, but the journey is not a sprint. Marathoners must prepare with proper nutrition and training and then, on race day, maintain a pace that will keep them from tiring out too soon!
As we travel the journey of our lives, we need to prepare properly with spiritual nutrition and training. We need to watch what we sow, so we can reap benefits, including eternal life. After we are in the habit of making better choices in the Spirit, we need to maintain patience and a pace that will keep us from growing weary. God is with us and working through us, even if we don't see immediate results!
Train in the Spirit and pace yourself with patience!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for providing me with Your Word and Your promises. Help me to train in Your Holy Spirit so I am prepared for the marathon of life before me. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
