In Galatians 6:7 Paul starts off with a warning. "Do not be deceived...." People...we should really pay attention here! Are we deceived by the things of the world? We chase a lot of stuff in life. We are preoccupied with a bunch of selfish interests. Paul goes on to say, "A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction." What kind of seeds are you sowing in life? Are you sowing to please God. Paul gives us a hint of the kind of seed-sowing that pleases God...."doing good to all people"...as we have opportunity.
A big 'ol crop of money sounds real good....Is that the crop we would like to reap? ....but have you ever talked to someone on their death bed? In these situations, no one says, "I wish I had spent more time at work or I wish I had played a lot more golf." Instead, they are most interested in being near their friends and family. Those deep caring relationships are the "treasures" of life.
