REAPING WHAT WE SOW
Sirach 7:1-3 (not in Protestant Bible)
Do no evil things,
And evil will never overtake you.
Stay away from wrongdoing,
And it will turn away from you.
My son, do not sow on the furrows of wrongdoing,
And you will not reap the same things sevenfold.
Personal challenge
Do we want to live our lives with minimalized evil in them? Then don’t do evil things. Do we want to avoid wrongdoing? Then don’t do wrong things. Life has some very clear rules that play out every day. Every action, or inaction, has consequences. Every choice has an outcome. Planting good seed yields good fruit. Bad seeds, to the contrary, produces bad fruit. Lord, have mercy! Lord have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
