Verse of the day - Galatians 6:8

"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."

What am I sowing? When I asked this question to my small group and to myself, no one was quick with an answer. Most of them were confused as to what the question meant. I tried to explain it like this: The farmer who sows only corn, will harvest only corn, likewise to person who spends most of there time on the computer or video games or whatever will likely reap the benefits of that (not that there really are any).
So really the question is what am I doing with my life? Am I investing my time and thoughts in the things of my flesh or am I giving it all to the Spirit?
It is once again a humbling thing to look at this verse and see the difference between the two. As a fallen and sinful human I know how easy it is to sow from my flesh, and equally I know what it is like to reap corruption from that. I am humbled in that but also in the second part of the verse where it says the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. When I am dealing with the flesh it is all about me, and from me comes the corruption, but when I choose to put that aside and start focusing on God's Holy Spirit I do not gain good things from myself, no, it is from the Spirit that eternal life comes from.
As Christians it important not only to understand the need to be focused on sowing (meaning giving our time and thoughts and everything) to the Spirit, but also to understand that the results are from the Spirit and not some of our own ability. There is no good that comes from us, praise God for the mercy and blessings that He pours out as we live for Him
