Reap the Good Life
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have (perfect) peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer (take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted)! For I have overcome the world. (I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.) John 16:33
God showed me that my life was in a mess because of the decisions I had made. He said, "Joyce (the author), you have change; start sowing good seeds, and down the road somewhere, you will reap."
If trials come against you, don't try to figure out whether you sowed some bad seeds that produced them. Trials will come, but if you will obey the Word of God long enough (not just five minutes of trial and error), sooner or later, you will come into the good life that God has prearranged for you to live.
Plant Purposefully
Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or bby His precepts being set aside). (He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.) For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. Galatians 6:7
Choose carefully what you sow through your words and actions, and plant only what you want to reap:"For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life" (Galatians 6:8).
Everything you do, all day long, is an opportunity to sow good seeds, or bad ones, that can drastically change things in your life. Get an early start in sowing only what you want to come back to you.
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
