A HARVEST OF BLESSING

Galatians 6:9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.

There is an orchard near us where the public can go and help themselves to apples and plums which we did the other day. All through the year I save jam jars so I’m prepared and ready for harvest so I can make my jams and chutneys, some to store, some to give away.😊

Harvest always speaks to me of abundance, and in life God wants us to prepare for the harvests He has coming to us and not miss them. All through Scripture God talks about harvesting and blessings for His people. Deuteronomy 28:8 The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand….

God hasn’t just prepared, but has commanded blessings for us to gather in by faith as we believe for our prayers to be answered, so we can then bless others. What a wonderful thought! 

We had to go out and scrabble through nettles and brambles to get to the fruit because the orchard is all overgrown and neglected and it’s like that in other areas of life too. We have to make the effort and fight through the doubt and unbelief to bring in the harvest God is sending our way!

You may be believing for a harvest of healing, or for finances to come through, or for a new home, or a loved one to be saved. Every prayer was a seed you planted in faith, and that seed is constantly growing and will produce a wonderful harvest. Keep watering your seed prayers with the water of God’s word, of God’s promises, with praise and thanksgiving, till the harvest comes.

The farmer doesn’t sit in the farmhouse, he goes out and brings the harvest in! If God tells you to change your job it’s because there are greater blessings in the new one. If He says to go and witness to someone it’s because the harvest of their soul is ready to come in. If He says to give an offering, to sow a seed of finance into His Kingdom, it’s because He wants to multiply it back to you with a harvest of thirty, sixty, a hundred fold. But we have to do the sowing and reaping! 2 Cor 9:6-15 teaches us such a lot if you’d like to learn more. It gives us God’s ‘how tos’ on reaping and sowing.😊

Let’s speak words of faith and bring in the harvest of blessings He has prepared for us. Bring them in by praising and thanking Him for them and prepare our hearts (like the jam jars) to receive His abundance and not shy away from them. Amen.
