We Reap Only What Has Been Sown

• Our lives are filled daily with choices.

a) Each and every choice will affect us or someone else in some way, whether we see the results immediately or not.

 b) Wise choices require wisdom! "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." Psalm 90:12

• Our reaping results from what was planted either naturally or purposely, either by God, or by man or Satan, for either good or evil. We reap blessings from the labour of others. "I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." John 4:38
   
• No one, not even Satan is able to alter even one of these laws of the harvest. "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of Yahovah is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;" Ephesians 5:15-18
   
• We reap blessings because of what God has done for all mankind."That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." James 1:1 "John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven." John 3:27

 We reap the blessings of  God's Saving grace. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16. "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:11-12

• We reap blessings from what others have done, and we need consider how we are able to sow for others."For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." John 13:15 "So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia." 1 Thessalonians 1:7 "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 "In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing incorruptness, gravity, sincerity," Titus 2:7
   
• We Reap the Wrong Others Have Sown

a) We reap the  sin of Adam inherited from our parents and pass it on to our children."Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." Psalm 51:5
"The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies." Psalm 58:3
"And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:" Genesis 5:3
"Yahovah is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Numbers 14:18
 

 b) We reap the wrong of foolish and corrupt leaders.

i) The result is the judgment of God on society. Israel has paid dearly for their leader's past wrong choices. " Then answered all the people, and said, His [Messiah's] blood be on us, and on our children." Matthew 27:25
"For he [Pilate] knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews? And they cried out again, Crucify him." Mark 16:9-13

ii) Our nation is treasuring up wrath unto ourselves because we violate God's Law.  "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;" Romans 2:5
