Day 97 – A Time for Planting and a Time for Harvest

‘While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.’ Genesis 8:22

‘For as long as Earth lasts, planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never stop.’ Genesis 8:22 (MSG)

This is the law of God and a principle that all things on earth operate under. If you sow the seed of honour you will reap honour, if you sow in hard work to your destiny and your God-given gifts you will reap the fruit thereof. The Good News Translation says: ‘As long as the world exists, there will be a time for planting and a time for harvest…’

Sow the seed of time on your gift, your spouse, and your children. Sow the seed of honour and respect. If you do these things, in time, you will reap a dividend. If in the time of planting you do not plant, do not expect to reap anything during the time of harvest. So, sometimes you are in your planting season of life. At such times, do not be discouraged if it seems you are only ‘giving out’ and can’t see the harvest. Your season of harvest will certainly come. ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not’. (Galatians 6:9)

In your planting season of life may you know what to do and may God grant you the wisdom you need to do it well. Have a fruitful day, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
