A man reaps what he sows

Galatians 6:7-9 "A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Everyday we see or hear about people who out of the goodness of their heart try to help someone but instead get conned or tricked into doing something evil or have their possessions stolen. This may be a deterrent to some of us from trying to help someone. We should always view it as our intention to help. If it comes to it that the other person has bad intentions then it would be something that that person will reap later on for themselves. It should not deter us from doing what we feel is right and what we should be doing.

"press on toward the goal" (Philippians 3:14)

Paul tells us to "press on toward the goal" (Philippians 3:14), "run a good race" (Galatians 5:7), and "fight the good fight" (2 Timothy 4:7). Each of these acknowledge the struggle and exhort us to keep moving forward. But there are times we become weary and even the thought of pressing, running, or fighting becomes difficult. Yet, we know we must endure - we must overcome!


Yes everyday we have trials and tribulations. Yet no where else can you find encouragement like it is shown in the Bible. Every day God speaks to us and to encourage us.

The goal for each of us will vary but the words are the same. The outcome is entirely up to us and God's blessings. We know we can over come anything if we believe in the words of encouragement.
