LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

"Whatever a man sows that he will reap"(Galatian 6:7)

KEEP GROWING IN GRACE

Some people grow old gracefully while others become grouchy and ill- tempered. It's important to know which way we are growing, because we are all growing older.
People dont get irritable and short tempered merely because they are getting older. Growing older doesn't have to make you hypercritical and cranky. No, its likely that we've become what we've been becoming all along.

Paul writes: 'He who sows to his flesh will...reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will...reap everlasting life(Galatians 6:8). Those who yields to self interest and thinks only of themselves are sowing seeds that will produce a harvest of misery in themselves and others. On the other hand, those who love God and care for others are sowing seeds that in time, will yield a harvest of joy.

A man by the name C.S Lewis puts it this way: 'every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses into something a little different from what it was before. We can choose to submit our wills to God each day, asking Him to give us strength to live for Him and for others. As He walks in us,  we will grow in grace and kindness.
So the question we need to ask ourselves is, which way am I growing, am I growing toward God or to self.? The answer to this question will tell the kind of future we will have.

PRAYER POINT

Father God, I submit my will to you today, help me to live for your glory.
Grant me the strength to choose that which is right and fitting to the glory and honor of your name in Jesus name.
