Harvest Time

But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form and it always bears the beautiful harvest of righteousness!

James 3:17-18a TPT

I love this time of year. I love the slightly cooler weather, the colors of the season, getting ready for Thanksgiving (November in the US). When I was a child, I loved witnessing the harvest times of the neighboring fields. I loved watching the big combines working row after row. When you knew what had been planted, the harvest was never a surprise. 

I think it's why God chose sowing and reaping as the primary analogy in life. If we're planting seeds, it won't be long before something comes up. Is it recognizable as the crop we want to harvest? If not, we need to pluck it out by the root and make sure our seed is right before planting it again. Check the season of life that we're in. It's almost harvest time. Will we reap the beautiful harvest of righteousness? 

Prayer:

Father,

          We pray according to Your Word in Isaiah 26:12, Lord Yahweh, You will establish peace and prosperity for us, for all we have accomplished is the result of what You work through us. Help us continue to sow Your wisdom, Your peace, Your love. We want to reap the beautiful harvest of righteousness. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
