6 Judges Chapter 9 "Abimelech: Ten Towering Truths About Sowing & Reaping."

We'd love to hear from you. Text us.

Galatians 6:7  says: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."  The God of Nature is the God of Scripture.  The God of Nature has made it clear that if you sow pumpkin seeds you get pumpkins not petunias.  This immutable law extends to our actions.  We reap what we sow.  Sometimes there is a long gap between one’s sowing & one’s reaping.  Sometimes some folks seem to get away with sowing for decades, but eventually, indeed in eternity if need be, we reap what we sow. Today we are in Judges chapter 9.  Judges 9 chronicles the sad sordid story of one of Scripture’s scoundrels.A man named Abimelech.  A man whose Machiavellian manner motivated him to climb the leadership ladder by committing mass murder. A man who would not hesitate to burn alive 1000 people & instead of being sobered by his horrors, he attempts the same feat a few miles down the street.  Judges chapter 9 does not chronicle a judge, but a judgment.   Yet, the Holy Spirit devotes 57 verses to his story.  Why would God devote so much ink to someone who basically stinks?  To make us think.  God gives us Judges 9 as a warning about reaping & sowing.
