God’s Harvest

September 17th – John 4:36

John 4:36

God’s fields are in need of many workers. And each of us have an important role to play. Some will sow seeds, other will nourish those seeds, and still others will reap the seed. But regardless of our duty, we can all rejoice together over the bounty of the Lord’s harvest. And to each of us, the laborers of God, He gives mighty promises. Our work in the harvest will be rewarded. The goodness of our work will last forever. And each one of us will share in the happiness of the harvest. Just like the angels who rejoice over every saved soul (Luke 15:10), we too will celebrate the sweetness of God’s crop. But the days are growing short before the time of planting is over forever. And no more will the fields give up their goodness. So now, while we still can, we need to roll up our sleeves and get our hands beautifully dirty in God’s soil. Time to plant, nourish, and reap the seeds of God’s Word. So that at the time of God’s great harvest, we can celebrate with endless joy!

September 15th – John 4:35

John 4:35

How many us love to live by the phrase, “Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?” But God says, “Why put off tomorrow what you can today?” For unlike the farmers of the field who need to wait for the right time to harvest, God’s fields are always ripe for gleaning. His seeds are always being planted, His rows sowed, and His harvest ready. All that is missing are the workers who are eager, and ready to reap. Jesus taught the disciples, when it comes to spreading the gospel, the time is now! Every season is the right season for spirits willing to sow, hearts willing to cultivate, and hands willing to reap. Procrastination has no part in evangelism. And Ecclesiastes 11:4 reminds us, those who wait for the right time, get nothing done for God at all. For time is short, and the workers few. So don’t wait! For what is today, but yesterday’s tomorrow.

September 13th – revelation 14:15

Revelation 14:15

When the harvest of the earth is ripe, none will escape the mighty sickle of God. For as lovingly as He gleans the righteous, He will just as fiercely strike down the wicked. His judgement will be swift, final, and when carried out, leave none standing. We serve the God of second chances. Yet His patience has an end. For over four millennium, God has stayed His judgement. For He wishes none to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) But one day soon, the trumpets will blare and time will have run out. Even as we speak there is an angel in God’s heavenly temple. He is eagerly waiting for the time when he will cry out with a loud voice to “one like a son of man.” And at his urging, with one fell swoop, the Lord will reap the earth. So now while there is still time, receive Jesus as your Savior. Become part of God’s precious wheat laid up in His glorious storehouse, rather than a discarded tare thrown in the fire to burn away.
