His will, not mine

"For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." - Galatians 6:8

When I read this verse I picture a man planting according to his own will, as oppose to the seasons. He tries to make something happen, but nothing is produced. Now he has no more seeds, and he's left with an empty bag.

We are like like this man when we try to do things according to our will and not God's. Instead of producing mountainss of fruit, we're just left with an empty field. But if we sow according to God's will, there will be an aboundace of fruit to harvest. For His will is like the seasons that are perfect for planting.

Application: I will try not to force things, but ask God to give me an opportunity to do His will.
