“ A Sobering Sermon ” How solemnly true the words of the apostle; "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" This principle applies equally to believers in Christ as it does to the unbelievers. A decision once made and acted upon can bring dire and heart wrenching consequences in the life of of a believer. God is absolutely sovereign in the dispensing of His mercies. To some believers they may abound in outward blessings and prosperity, while others of the same family may go halting all their days and rarely enjoy outward comforts and blessings. The difference between the two is that the afflicted and tried saints will always attain to a deeper and more intimate knowledge and communion with their God, but its what God has decreed, for He will do the thing that is appointed for each and every member of His family. God many times uses the failures and even the sins committed by His own people to bring about His divine purposes in their lives. But let us never forget, His blessings are first and foremost "spiritual" and these we should seek earnestly. Nowhere in the new testament does He promise to give His people outward prosperity but rather has told us that the way that leads to eternal life is a road that is paved with many afflictions as the original has it in Matt Ch 7.
Excellent sermon.
