Judges 11:29-12:15; Isaiah 32:1-20; 1 Corinthians 10:14-11:1

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7

I have a garden called “My Mind” which no one else can see.  And from it grows all kinds of things, all planted there by me. Before me lie two different sacks, containing different seeds. The first is labelled “Spirit’s Fruit”, the other: “Fleshly Greed”. Don’t be fooled. God is not mocked. We reap that which we sow. Though hidden there inside my mind, in time, that fruit will show. It shows up in my character: my words, my walk, my ways. Eventually the garden no one sees, its hidden work will display. So tend that garden carefully, for thoughts are just like seeds. They’ll either grow the Spirit’s fruit or harmful, choking weeds. —Brian Cretney

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.  —2 Corinthians 9:6
