In Ashes They Shall Reap

I believe that you reap what you sow in life. Karma. Jesus mentions it in his gospels. Other disciples of Christ mention it in letters to fellow believers. I believe that it is important what you send out into the world. Do you send negative emotions and action out into the world? What happens when we sow anger, hate, revenge, slander? We can expect the negative consequences of what we sow. If we sow love, mercy, grace, forgiveness. We can expect the positive out comes of our sowing. You reap what you sow in life! One thing I have learned over the recent years is that I am in charge of my own emotions. My wife for examples doesn't make me angry, I choose to give control over to how my emotions and actions play out. Do I give in or do I choose how I respond? I am the one in charge of my emotions, actions. Same is said for all of us. You control how you respond to the circumstances in your life. You have a choice on how you live and the things that you sow and reap in life. You are given choice by God. You are given the power of making decisions and the consequences of decisions are based on how you respond in life. If we sow destructively we of course can expect to reap destruction on our lives. If we sow seeds of positiveness in our lives we can expect the wonderful effects of our sowing.

Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed has done it again with a with a wonderful song on the subject. I love how he challenge us. I think these words can be encouraging and uplifting for those facing difficulties in the world. It is a reminder and question of what are we reaping in life. God has given us what we need to succeed in life. What will you reap? Will you reap blessings or destruction on your life?

IN ASHES THEY SHALL REAP

I was born to bleed
Fighting to succeed
Built to endure
What this world throws at me
x4

Let me to tell you of a force
Coursing through my veins again
Like a page torn from a chapter
Of a book of better days
In the moments that we seize together
Some will never know
It is these words that never give true justice
Screaming all alone

I was born to bleed
Fighting to succeed
Built to endure
What this world throws at me
x2

You may trust the unanswered
You put hope in the unseen
All our memories come to haunt us
If we still fail to believe
Now the fear we once held
Is the breath we mustn't take
Because those who sow in flames
In ashes they shall reap

Ashes are all that you are left with when you sow in flames
x4

All life sorrows are my own creation
the same is said for our love
x3

Born to bleed
Fighting to succeed
Built to endure
What this world throws at me
x5

Born to bleed
Fighting to succeed
But those who sow in flames in ashes they shall reap
Those who sow in flames in ashes they shall reap



What are you sowing and reaping in life? Are you sowing anger, hatred, revenge, slander, greed, pride? Or are you sowing love, mercy, grace, forgiveness and healing? What happens when we sow destructive things in life? What happens when you sow positive things in life? What do you think about you being in control of your own emotions and actions in life? How does it make you feel that you have a God given choices on how you respond to situations in life? What do you want to sow and reap?

What do you think?

I wrote about Christian Karma here.. here is an excerpt:

From my perspective these karma-like concepts negate the idea of grace and cause actions to be the products of faith instead of the byproducts of faith. The scripture in Galatians is a simple one that simply says that when we respond to the Holy Spirit we sow eternal seeds and when we respond to our flesh we sow temporal seeds. That scripture has nothing to do with Christian karma.

I don't know about Christian karma but I do know we all have spheres of influences. My prayer is that through the power of the Holy Spirit, when I feel like being negative in that sphere that others see Jesus instead through the choices (and word) I make in response to His Grace.

thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on the song "He is". That song has really ministered to me lately, i read your post...good post but I have never heard of Christians using the word Karma...thought that was more Eastern religion type of thing?

It isn't a faith or grace issue. It isn't playing games with God. It is the way life works. We reap what we sow in life and eternally. We have choices and consequences for what you choose to do in life.

Agree with you Kinney as long as there is an understanding that sometimes the reaping comes after you die. In Hebrews 11:39 it says that some died without reaping God's promises. God is faithful to us but not always in the ways we expect.

I believe the we reap eternal life or eternal death in the end. Reaping and sowing is both temperal and eternal.

Kinny, I do believe the bible said we reap what we sow, but there are many in the churches today who say we only reap what Jesus sowed. What we sow doesn't matter. I disagree.
