Hosea 8:7 They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.”

This saying emphasizes the dire cause-and-effect relationship between sin & punishment…and the real consequences of our rebellion against God. It’s like the difference between a light breeze and the violent & destructive wind of a tornado. One sin can have a ripple effect and cause a lifetime of grief. Its results far reaching the original misdeed…its aftermath far messier. Galatians 6:7-8 tell us that, “A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction.” Remember, no sin is without its consequences that we must bear…no trespass not punished with sorrow & disillusionment.
