What is "SOWING AND REAPING?" This is a question I receive from a young lady the other day...In the Book of Genesis, which means the book of "beginnings", is were we find the expression of a seed principle that runs throughout the scriptures...And it's a principle that will endure as long as the earth endure....In other words "sowing and reaping", will be as unchangeable and predictable as day and night.
Sowing and reaping is a law, like the law of gravity. The law of gravity always works the same way for everyone. So does the law of sowing and reaping. It's a fixed principle that God built into his creation. In Galatians 6:7, we are told, "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."
Essentially, this means that every action has a predictable consequence....If I sow give away life to others, I will reap life myself....If young black women continue to sow the type of negative image in the world...Young Black women are going to reap the harvest from those negative images ...In Galatians 6:7, Paul says something very interesting about sowing and reaping. He begins by saying, "Do not be deceived." The reason he says that is because so many people are deceived about sowing and reaping. And then he assures us that we will reap whatever we sow. So what's the big deception?Well some of these images of young black women are sad and frighten....I'm confused as to how pictures of half-naked black women who are often too young to know and understand the principle of sowing and reaping....Or how these very images could impact their lives in the near future....Some of these young women are willing to put their self respect on the line....In order to earn a buck....I read an article where this young lady call herself a barbie doll...A barbie doll is an inanimate object, with no brains....I'm asking what's going on? This generation is rapidly moving from this, this to this this what is going on? Zora Neale Hurston, once referred to black women as the “mules of the world.”
