Galatians 6

"Dirt"

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

There is a law built into the earth. Doesn't matter what race, religion, or background you are from....you will grow what you plant. God built that into the very earth so that seed produces fruit in the earth. When you sow it or plant it, you reap it. And you always reap more than you sow. 

When people do you wrong and hurt you, let the law of reaping and sowing handle them. You don't have to say a word many times.  Just let it work itself out. There is one very important thing we usually miss about this law of reaping and sowing.  We forget that there is dirt involved!

When you sow or plant a seed, you surround it with dirt.  And even though it's covered with dirt, the fruit will grow out of it.  That's the way God wants us to grow. He allows us to be surrounded by dirt at times so we can grow out of it!  The dirt that is going on around you, the dirt that has been shoveled on top of you, and the dirt that your past may have put into you will only grow you up and out!

Do you know what fertilizer is? It's the waste that passes out of the body of an animal.  It's basically, as Paul called it, "DUNG!" And to us, that is the most detestable thing. But it is much needed for growing a seed.  Any farmer would tell you that you grow better fruit when you use fertilizer. And that's how we are.


We grow stronger and are made better when our lives have come through the dung. And once we pass through the mess, we are blessed! When you are in the mess, with the mess, and surrounded by the mess, that's the best time to sow a seed.  You are in a fertile situation when you are covered with dirt and sprinkled with fertilizer! You are in the best possible position to grow and bring forth good fruit! 

So, when you are in the ground, covered with dirt, sow a seed of righteousness by reading the word. Sow a seed of hope by praying for those that are taking you through some ordeal. Sow a financial seed into a good ministry so that ministry can continue to preach the gospel.  REAL Men don't look at the dirt as always being a bad thing. God uses dirt to grow REAL Men into what he wants us to be.
