Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

Am I Reaping What I Sow?

Galatians 6: 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

In that I have been frustrated that I haven't been able to drop the ten extra pounds I gained when I broke my heel, I wondered if I am reaping what I sow? Is it that I've been focused on more worldly things like food instead of focusing on Christ?

Sadly, I have found that it must be true. Lately, God has been having little lessons for me again, showing me that I had been losing my focus on Him. I have been self-absorbed and allowed things to keep me from being actively involved in my relationship with Him. I've rambled through my daily prayers and through the time that I read the Bible each day. The sad thing is, I thought I had a really good relationship with Christ and didn't realize I was letting Satan slowly work a wedge in my relationship with God.

The thing is, Christ gave His life for us to save us from ourselves. When He shows me what I've been doing, I can immediately, and I don't mean some time later, ask God's forgiveness and ask the Holy Spirit to enter my heart and renew my relationship with Him. I should not put God off until sometime more convenient like chores I plan to do sometime later, but sometimes never get around to it. Christ didn't say, "I don't think I want to give my life for Debbie right now. I think I will do it sometime later when I have more time."

Because these posts are examples of how I've applied these Bible verses to my life, they don't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the Bible verse. Debbie
