The Laws of Sowing and Reaping: Personal Discipline and Fruitfulness

The Law

The Explanation

Sow to the Spirit and reap God’s best

You will reap what you sow

Transcend the harvest you have inherited

You will reap what others have sown

You reap the same in kind as what you sow

Choose wisely what you want to reap before you sow

You reap in proportion to what you sow

Sow more to get more in return

You reap in a different season than when you sow

Learn to be patient as you await the harvest

It is going to be better (or worse) than you gave

You reap more than what you sow

You can always transcend last year’s harvest

God gives the growth, so trust in him alone

We cannot help but see that the [people] who have achieved wonders in modern science and technology are [people] of very great inner discipline. No one has succeeded by following the path of least resistance.
