The consequences of your actions!

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8

In the middle of the night God told me “The means justify the ends.” This sounds like something humanistic but it represents the thinking of God.

The means are the efforts you employ to achieve a result. This can be about your life, your work, your marriage, raising a child or a task in life.

The ends is the culmination of your efforts and the result of your actions. The ends is justified by your means. They are in direct relationship to each other. The analogy is do good and receive good.

God plays a significant role in the consequences of your actions. He determines the result or outcome of all things. He can bless or curse.

God desires for you to have a successful and rewarding end to all things. This can only be accomplished by making Him the centerpiece of your life and seeking Him out for wisdom and guidance. He wants you to turn to Him for every detail in your life.

You seek God through praise and prayer. You ask for the Word of Christ to dwell richly in you in all wisdom and understanding.

You listen to the voice of God and follow His leading. You live for God and desire to please Him in all things.

In reality, you determine the outcome of your efforts in life. If you are living for God you will have an abundant and prosperous life.

God has spoken and laid out the conditions for living an abundant life. It is your actions that determine the consequences.

God never changes!
