Being Faithful to the Harvest (3 of 10)

Galatians 6:7-11
The second principle is you will reap later than you sow. You don't sow one day and go out and suddenly you have fruit on the vine the next day. You sow the seed and there is a time of cultivation, a time of prayer, a time of watering, and then finally the harvest comes in. But it is always later than you sow.

You reap later than you sow. The Bible says there is pleasure in sin for a season, but it doesn't last. The judgment is going to come. With every kick there is going to come the kick back. And you reap later than you sow. People say well I guess I have gotten away with my sin, my sin has been hidden. I guess I am not going to have to pay for it. Nobody is going to find out. Well, my friend, you will pay for it. It will be later.
