Heavenly Harvest

Three words come to mind when I
hear the theme harvest: reaping,
shedding, and cuddling. We reap from diligent planting in spring; we shed our
burdens and worries in order to maintain emotional health, and we hibernate by
curling up in God’s lap as He reveals the secrets of His word to us.
Such
is the story of God’s promise through the rainbow He displayed following the
flood. After the ark landed on dry land, Noah worshipped God. Genesis 8:21
tells us God’s response. “I’ll never again curse the ground.”
But
tucked away in verse 22, I discovered the gem of God’s poetic heart.
“While
the earth remains
“Seedtime
and harvest
“And
cold and heat
“.
. . Winter and summer
“.
. . Day and night
“Shall
not cease.”
Regardless
of our inadequacies, short-comings, or failures, Papa God continues to
“harvest” our lives into His unceasing song of love and perfection like no
Daddy can do. This fall, purpose to find your harvest time—enabling God to
cultivate, unleash, and engulf you with fresh promises that “shall not cease.”
