The Farmer's Harvest

Hosea 10:12 – “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.”
     Just as the farmer utilizes faith when he plants his field, we must exercise faith that our planting and toiling shall yield an abundance. The farmer must prepare the soil to be receptive to the seeds or plants. Certain plants require special soil and planting methods and the farmer must recognize these needs. There must be proper irrigation and methods for removing pesky weeds. As our bountiful harvest comes to fruition we do not want to leave any of the yield hanging. God is so awesome and He will not allow any of our promised favor to fail; but we must be in the spirit of harvesting when our blessings are ripe and ready.
     The devil is busy trying to hold us back, but we have planned, toiled and worked so now is our season of reaping. When the harvest is done, we shall rejoice and give testimony to God’s goodness. To complete the harvest cycle we must then turn over the soil and burn the vestigial growth to cleanse and rejuvenate the soil. Once our harvest has come we must be prepared to glean, turn, and burn so that our new works will have prepared soil ready for planting.
     Every day is a good day it is up to us to make it a GREAT day. Harvest Victoriously! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
