Gardens of Desire

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7

D.L. MOODY
This law is just as true in God’s kingdom as in man’s kingdom; just as true in the spiritual world as in the natural world. If I sow tares, I am going to reap tares; if I sow a lie, I am going to reap lies; if I sow adultery, I am going to reap adulterers; if I sow whisky, I am going to reap drunkards. You cannot blot this law out, it is in force. No other truth in the Bible is more solemn.

ERWIN LUTZER
God enables us to grow like fruit, but we have a responsibility of sowing rightly in the Spirit. The desire you give in to the most often is the desire that will become the strongest. If you sow to the flesh, your fleshly desires will grow stronger and stronger and stronger. But if you sow to the Spirit, the flesh will become weaker, and the work of the Spirit will grow stronger. When we are out of agreement with the Holy Spirit, we are vulnerable to sow to the flesh and will reap accordingly.
As fallen human beings, we often succumb to the flesh despite the power of the Holy Spirit who is available to strengthen us. Our great desire should always be that we walk in the Spirit not the flesh. At a time of temptation, let us remember that “he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Let us walk in that truth today!

PRAYER
Lord, today I choose to walk in the Spirit, and I choose to sow to the Spirit not the flesh.
