When things are not going too well, we often wonder where we are going wrong. We all really want everything to go right in our life, however wanting to live right is not going to result in right living. A kingdom principle that we often forget is that we will reap what we sow, however we might be deceived into thinking otherwise as we may not see it work in the short term.
Here's a profound statement I read:
Sow a thought; reap an action
Sow an action; reap a habit
Sow a habit; reap a character
Sow a character; reap a destiny.
Making a practice of ignoring the still small voice of God and having the wrong attitude in the small things will result in an established pattern of wrongful thinking that will be destructive in the long run and will result in making bad choices when it comes to the big decisions in our lives. However, if we are faithful in the small things, doing everything in the right attitude and continually acting and obeying God as He reveals His will to us, we are making a life long habit of making the right choices and when it comes to making a big decision, we have the tools and wisdom to choose the right way. This is why Paul writes that God is not mocked and that we will reap what we sow....
Galatians 5: 7-10
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
