The July 2025 Refreshing Daily in God’s Word will be the last issue of the devotional. Pastor Michael Rouse retired June 29, 2025. At the present time, Mountain View Baptist Church does not have anyone to continue this ministry.
We appreciate all the support and prayers that you have given for this ministry since 2007 when it first began. We pray the devotionals have been a blessing and have brought you closer in your walk with the Lord.
In the future, the Lord may allow the devotional to return. In the meantime, we are asking for your prayers for the man that God chooses for our church.
Thank you and God bless you!
Key Verse: Verse 7 - “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Key Words: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap
I realize this is a familiar portion of Scripture, but I trust it’s not so familiar that it has ceased to impact our lives for we do reap what we sow.
A young boy lived with his grandfather on the top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps. Often, just to hear the sound of his own voice echoing back to him, he would go outside, cup his hands around his mouth and shout, “HELLO!” Up from the canyons the reply reverberated, “HELLO...HELLO...hello...hello....” Then he would call out, “I LOVE YOU...I LOVE YOU...I love you...love you...love you....”
One day the boy seriously misbehaved and his grandfather disciplined him severely. Reacting violently, the child shook his fist and screamed, “I HATE YOU!” To his surprise, the rocks and boulders across the mountainside responded in kind: “I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU...I hate you...hate you...hate you....”
And so it is in a family. We could call it one of the immutable laws of physical nature. More particularly, human nature. We get in return exactly what we give. It all comes back. Incredible echoes mirror our actions to an emphatic degree, sometimes in greater measure than we give. The results are often embarrassing...or tragic.
Tennyson said: “Our echoes roll from soul to soul and grow forever and forever.”
What to do:
✞Sow what you want to reap because you will anyway.
