Galatians 6: 7-10 (NRSVA)

7 Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. 8 If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. 10 So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith.

Sow to the Spirit

with your card taps

Sow to the Spirit

with your emails

Sow to the Spirit

with your spreadsheets

Sow to the Spirit

with your databases

Sow to the Spirit

with your lectures

Sow to the Spirit

with your smile

 

Sow to the Spirit

at every long queue

Sow to the Spirit

at every bookshelf

Sow to the Spirit

at every church

Sow to the Spirit

at every traffic light

Sow to the Spirit

at every moment of indecision

Sow to the Spirit

each time the thought occurs.

 

PRAYER:

 

Lord in Heaven,

to sow in hope

we must lay the ground

we have to live in the world

we want to build.

 

Give us the texture,

structure,

density

porosity

and consistency

of good soil,

ready to cultivate a habitat of hope.

Amen.
