Galatians 6:7-8 (NET)<br />
Do not be deceived. God will not be<br />
made a fool. For a person WILL REAP<br />
WHAT he sows, because <strong>the</strong> person<br />
who sows to h<strong>is</strong> own flesh will reap<br />
corruption from <strong>the</strong> flesh, but <strong>the</strong> one who<br />
sows to <strong>the</strong> Spirit will reap eternal life<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Spirit.
You WILL reap WHAT you sow<br />
Words <strong>and</strong> Actions ALWAYS<br />
have Consequences
Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> first time we read that<br />
God HARDENED Pharaoh's heart.<br />
If a person continues to harden<br />
h<strong>is</strong> own heart,<br />
God will eventually<br />
harden it fur<strong>the</strong>r in judgment.<br />

for it <strong>is</strong> written: It <strong>is</strong> mine to avenge;<br />
I WILL REPAY, says <strong>the</strong> Lord.
Romans 12:17-19 (<strong>NIV</strong>)<br />
Do NOT REPAY anyone evil for evil. Be<br />
careful to DO WHAT IS RIGHT in <strong>the</strong> eyes of<br />
everybody. [18] IF it <strong>is</strong> POSSIBLE, as far as<br />
it depends on you, LIVE AT PEACE with<br />
everyone. [19] Do not take revenge, my<br />
friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for<br />
it <strong>is</strong> written: "It <strong>is</strong> mine to avenge; I will<br />
repay," says <strong>the</strong> Lord.

MY Life <strong>is</strong> But a WEAVING<br />
My life <strong>is</strong> but a weaving Between my God <strong>and</strong> me.<br />
I cannot choose <strong>the</strong> colors He weaveth steadily.<br />
Oft' times He weaveth sorrow; And I in fool<strong>is</strong>h pride<br />
Forget He sees <strong>the</strong> upper And I <strong>the</strong> underside.<br />
Not 'til <strong>the</strong> loom <strong>is</strong> silent And <strong>the</strong> shuttles cease to fly<br />
Will God unroll <strong>the</strong> canvas <strong>and</strong> reveal <strong>the</strong> reason why
MY Life <strong>is</strong> But a WEAVING<br />
The dark threads are as needful<br />
In <strong>the</strong> weaver's skillful h<strong>and</strong><br />
As <strong>the</strong> threads of gold <strong>and</strong> silver<br />
In <strong>the</strong> pattern He has planned<br />
He knows, He loves, He cares;<br />
Nothing th<strong>is</strong> truth can dim.<br />
He gives <strong>the</strong> very best to those<br />
Who leave <strong>the</strong> choice to Him.
