You Cannot Cheat God
This is an interesting scripture, and it's been on my mind a lot lately. Cheating God is not something I think I would have considered I would ever do, however there may have been times when I thought I could benefit with blessing without necessarily sewing the seeds of generosity, kindness, self-sacrifice, or exercise of the Spirit's fruit.
Here's the NIV version:
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Lord, let us not become weary in doing good.
Amen
