Message Summary
What do you think your life will be like five years from now in these four areas: spiritually, relationally, financially, and physically? If you want to know what trajectory your life is on, look at the habits you have today. Hope is good but hope alone will not change your life, habits will.
There are three laws of sowing and reaping.
You reap what you sow. Whatever habits you sow, you reap the outcomes. If you get something bad when you sow bad things, it’s not a punishment it’s a harvest.
You reap more than what you sow. God is a multiplier. If the habits we have today are God honoring, they will explode and multiply in the God honoring life we want, but the opposite is also true.
You reap later than you sow. You sow in one season, but you reap in a later season. You didn’t wait long enough for change. We cannot judge the success of the day by the harvest we reap, but by the seeds we sow each day.
Discussion
1. Who are the people in your life who are with you heart and soul?
2. How can you build those relationships?
3. What do you want your life to look like in five years in these areas: Spiritually, Relationally, Financially Physically?
4. What seeds can you begin to sow today to change the trajectory of your life tomorrow in each of these areas?
5. If the habits today shape who you become, do you like where your habits are taking you? Why?
