Harvest season is the busiest time for the farmer. She must go out and gather the harvest. Her arms must be strong enough to carry all that her garden has produced, and not only that, she must do it in a timely manner because if she leaves her harvest too long, it will rot.
Again, in gardening and in life, timing is important. The next harvest won’t be ready to come until you pick the one you have.
Oh, how I’ve experienced this truth in my relationship with God. Where He won’t give me what’s next until I’m faithful with what’s now. Many of us are waiting on God, and He’s waiting on us to be faithful with the harvest He has already given us. Today, I encourage you to be faithful to where God has called you now, as He prepares you to make room for your next blessing.
Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the season that You have me in right now, and help me to celebrate it. Help me to praise You for Your faithfulness in my current season, as You prepare me to make room for the next harvest season. In Jesus’ name, amen.
