I thought Gods laws apply to everyone.Now reaping and sewing. Does that apply to the physical too?You would think so.since its the same principal.But let me introduce you to people I've seen who seem to be getting around it.I've seen some who eat high calorie foods, and consistently,yet don't gain weight.Some who eat high fat foods consistently, but their cholesterol levels remain normal.And some who I 've seen who smoke several packs a day for years, and live to be older than most,and don't get emphysema or lung cancer.How are these people seemingly getting around the law of reaping and sewing?Or doesn't it apply to the physical also?

Hi brother... Important to remember His Word is always true. Also, Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and ( this is key here--) lean not on our own understanding...
That principle is true. If we sow to the flesh we reap corruption but if we sow to the Spirit we reap life Eternal ( Galatians 6:8). It's generally true physically...but God is sovereign, some may appear to be able physically to hold out longer than others let's say with bad habits like smoking for example...but still we know for certain smoking is bad for health. I believe I read somewhere that 80% of all heart and lung disease is somehow smoking-related that's a high number.
The best thing is just focus on the love of God. The beauty of the Savior. Don't worry about who is supposedly getting away with whatever..God sees and knows everything. He is still saving people...keep the eternal perspective.
Bless you in Christ Jesus.

This applies to everything we do or eat here on earth. If you eat junk food all the time then you will get fat and then you will need see a doctor for a weight loss check up. Doing daily exercises will make you loose weight and you must change your diet. Do as Daniel the prophet did. Eat fruits, vegetables and grains. Drind plenty of fresh water and fast and pray to God to give you wisdom on how you act before others. How you treat those you live with and everything will be revealed in heaven when our entire life will be shown on a big screen what we have done for Jesus here on earth. Remember, what you sew you shall also reap.

We read of the law of sowing and reaping. But I see things that contradict it. Someone eats high calorie foods consistently yet remains thin. Someone eats high fat foods but their cholesterol is low. Someone smokes a few packs of cigarettes a day yet their lungs are perfect. Are these people...

You know...as we get older, things seem to become "clearer" to us, meaning, we can see things which when we're younger we don't always realize.And we see that where we are in life is where we put ourselves to be.We didn't get there by chance.For myself, when I was young {teens},I thought...

We read about reaping and sewing.It applies to spiritual things, but is it meant to apply to everything in general?Because some things I've seen and heard seem to disprove it.I admit it sounds sensible to reap what one sews, but on the other hand, if it applies, explain these seeming...
