don’t be fooled

Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.

- Galatians 6:7 (MSG)

 

Anyone who reads my daily message knows that the Message translation is not my favorite, but gosh there are some verses that just pop out with exactly what I am trying to say.

We all have people in our lives that will try to fool us into believe things that are not true.

It could be some vicious gossip about a coworker or a story about someone we know that is laced with just enough truth that we are inclined to believe them.

These people are not good, and they will try to sway you by sowing seeds of discontent in your garden.

Don’t let them do that because once weeds start growing it is hard to get them under control, just ask my strawberry plot!

When someone starts to plant the wrong things in your mind and heart respond with the Spirit of God, let your heart be filled with His glory and overcome the weeds.
