Mental Health - A Life to Plant! What Are You Planting? (Galatians 6 Meditation)

1. Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are led by the Spirit should gently restore him, watching yourselves so that you do not fall into temptation.

2. Bear one another's burdens, and in so doing you

will fulfill

the law of Christ .

3. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4. Let each one examine his own works , and then he will have something to boast about in himself and not in others.

5. Each person must carry his own burden .

6. The one who learns the word must share all good things with the one who teaches it .

7. Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap .

8. For whoever sows to please his flesh will from the flesh reap destruction; but whoever sows to please the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life .

9. Let us not become weary in doing good, for in due time we will reap the harvest if we do not give up .

10. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those of the family of faith.

It is important to create something new

11. Look at what I have written to you in large letters with my own hand.

12. Those who want to make a good physical appearance are pressuring you to be circumcised only so that you will not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.

13. For those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they force you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh.

14. But may it never be that I would boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ , through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world .

15. Circumcision or uncircumcision is of no account; the only thing that matters is the new creation .

16. May peace and mercy be upon those who live by this principle and upon the Israel of God.

17. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

19. Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

QT: Sowing and Reaping and My Pride

"8. For he who sows to please his flesh will from the flesh reap corruption; but he who sows to please the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life ."

Thank you for the precious words of God.

I thank You for giving me the freedom not to sow the things of the world, but the gift of sowing and teaching the word of God for the Holy Spirit, and using it for Your glory.

What are we, who believe in Jesus, competing and running like we are planting now?

I'd like you to take a moment to think about it.

The Bible says, 'He who sows to please his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption.'

As we live in this world, I pray that we do not think that it is our fate to live each day sowing for money, fame, and power, but that we become people who sow for the Holy Spirit, for Jesus, and for God based on the Word .

"14. But may it never be that I would boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ , through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world ."

The things of worldly pride will eventually disappear.

But the apostle Paul confesses that only the cross of Jesus Christ is worth boasting about.

I too earnestly desire that this confession become the center of my life.

What I will boast about is not my success or my achievements, but only the cross of Jesus.

Through that cross I died to the world, and the world died to me.

I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

"17. From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of the Lord Jesus."

As the Word says, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

I will cherish my body in which Christ lives, and I will treat my brothers and sisters who follow Jesus with cherishing.

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances." (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

I will follow the Lord's words and live a life of joy, prayer, and gratitude in any situation.

I will no longer look at my life by the world’s standards, but will move forward looking at it through the eyes of Jesus.

Lord, let my boast be the cross of Jesus Christ today, and let me live a life that is not for the things of the world, but for the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Intercessory prayer for the construction workers

Thank you to our neighbors who have taken the time to visit us.

Please pray for the construction workers for a moment. Your prayers will be a great help.

And after the intercessory prayer for the housewife, please put your name, business, or workplace and pray again.

Dear Father God,

I thank you for allowing me to meditate on the Lord’s words and share His grace today.

Lord, help me live a life that does not sow the vain things of the world, but sows only for the Holy Spirit.

Please do not let us follow the temptations and vain glory of the world, but let us become those who deeply engrave and preach the word of God.

May the life of the housewife be one that is completely dedicated to the Lord, so that everything she plants may bear fruit as the kingdom of God.

Let the pride of the church be not the things of the world, but only the cross of Jesus Christ.

Please help me live a life of remembering the Lord's love and grace in any situation and following Him while carrying my cross.

May every moment of life become a tool to reveal the Lord, and may many people come to know the Lord through the church.

Lord, the housewife is your child and a precious being who serves Jesus.

Please protect me so that I can respect myself and not be swayed by the world's judgment.

May the life of the housewife become a holy temple of the Lord, so that she may deeply realize that the Lord is always with her.

Also, please give us the heart to treat everyone around us with the Lord’s love and to cherish our brothers and sisters.

Lord, please hear all these prayers and work faithfully in the lives of the members of the church.

May the Holy Spirit guide us and give us wisdom, courage, and faith to do Your will.

May the Lord personally guide all the plans and steps of the Construction Department and allow them to be used beautifully for the Kingdom of God.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
