With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
2 Samuel 22:26-28
When we see the words "sowing & reaping," our minds quickly go to the area of finances. Although financial blessings are promised to the believer, our constant desire for "more & more" in the financial arena has created an atmosphere devoid of spiritual awakening.
There is a spiritual sowing & reaping that needs attention in this day and age. Take 2 Samuel 22:26-28 for instance; these verses give a quick glimpse of how God will deal with us. God's conduct toward us is regulated according to our conduct towards God.
What you sow spiritually, you will also reap spiritually; sow mercy, reap mercy; live upright, your life will be seen as upright; desire purity and God will reap purity upon you. To the contrary, a froward person will get an unsavory reaction from God as well as the haughty being brought down.
In all this, God will surely save the afflicted.
As we go about our day, be sure not to neglect the spiritual implications of our actions. Life is so much more than money & things.
