Seedtime & Harvest

Seasons and Change

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and
harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and
winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis 8:22

Seasons.  They come.  They go.  They change. 
Some are more enjoyable to us than others,
depending on our point of view.  Some prefer
the Winter’s blanket of snow, ice, and the crisp,
cold air.  Some prefer Spring with the new
grass, buds, leaves, and birds.  Some prefer the
glories of Summer, sun, flowers, and
landscaping.  Other prefer the crispness of
Autumn with its riot of colors as the leaves turn
and reaping the rewards of the harvest.

As long as the earth remains, God promised the
seasons will continue.  They will not end.  They
may change and contain many variables, but
they will continue.

That means, just as you take the time to
prepare to sow seeds in this life, you approach
the time of harvest, with equal expectation.

What’s unique about the harvest is that you
can see what you’re working with and watch
the change.

We plant seeds of hope in the lives of those we
love daily.  We anticipate the rewards of what’s
been planted, yet we keep working; planting,
watering, weeding, feeding, waiting... expecting
the time of harvest. 

So, understand this – things and seasons will change.  Yet each plays a part in the leading towards the time of reaping.  The harvest.  The collection of the rewards of the labor.

Keep planting, working, waiting, watching!  There will be a harvest.  Expect it!  Look for it!
