Reaping a Good Harvest

Victor Giesbrecht stopped along a Wisconsin highway to help Sara Berg change a tire. She was thankful to God for this Good Samaritan who went out of his way to help her in her time of need.

Moments after he drove off, Giesbrecht went into cardiac arrest and his wife had to bring their pickup truck to a stop. Sara then stopped to help Victor. She and her cousin, Lisa Meier, performed CPR until emergency personnel arrived. They are credited with saving his life.

I don’t buy into the idea that the universe always evens things out with good or bad karma. However, there is a biblical principle that you generally will reap what you sow. We usually think about this in negative terms, as in paying the consequences for our sins. But the Bible also talks about this in a positive light. Galatians 6:8-9 says, “The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Let’s sow some good seeds today. It might not save your life, but, hey, you never know!
