Galatians 6:7-8: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
This principle of life is referred to as The Law of The Harvest. Simply stated, good choices, like good seeds, bring forth a good crop as a reward. Bad choices, like bad seeds, ultimately bring forth a bad crop as a consequence. This principle implies order and design. God has set certain truths in motion that cannot be broken. Think about how this principle has affected your life and the lives of those around you. You reap what you sow.
- If you are dishonest and disrespect the people in your life, what is the long-term result of that behavior? You reap what you sow.
- If you tolerate people treating you poorly, what is the long-term result of that behavior? You reap what you sow.

In opposition….
- If you are honest and treat the people in your life as a servant leader, what is the long-term result of that behavior? You reap what you sow.
- If you are confident and hold people accountable to a high standard of living, what is the consequence of that behavior? You reap what you sow.
