We Reap What We Sow 

   “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” (Hosea 8: 7) 

    I look around at the world and this nation and it’s frightening; there seem to be fewer and fewer who look to God for His guidance and more and more who ignore Him and chase their own rainbow.  Maybe they think there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but that has been disproven many times; there is no pot of gold.

   This nation used to have some semblance of kindness, of respect and concern for others.  In this day kindness is hard to find and respect for others has pretty much ceased to exist.  The only concern shown for others  is how they can best be used to our advantage.  Our misguided earthly desires and wants are all that seem to matter.

   What can the average Christian do to change a society which seems determined to condemn itself?  We can pray and we can trust in God.  We must pray for the conversion of those who have sown the wind, those who have lived a Godless life.  Our God is a forgiving God and will joyously welcome all who repent of their evil.

   Those who have sown only sin and evil will reap condemnation.  Let us sow the word of God in word and action and reap the paradise God has prepared for those who believe.
