Tag: What the Bible says about reaping a harvest

Psalm 128:2 (NKJV) 2 When you eat the labor of your hands, You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.

I remember as a child my dad would go out every Spring and get the rototiller out of the shed and begin to plow the ground where our garden was going to be.

That ground would be hard and matted down; compressed from the hard, cold winter months.

I would see him working so hard to keep that rototiller going in a straight path. If he didn’t hold it in place, it would bounce back and forth, from side to side as it tried to break the ground.

Eventually it would begin to get a little easier for him as the tines broke ground and got a little deeper down into the soil.

For my Dad, this was hard work. It must have been tiring for him to do.

Maybe some of us are feeling tired.

The ground we have been plowing has been taking its toll on us.

It’s been hard ground to prepare and break up, having to push through each day. And sometimes it makes us feel like giving up and putting down the plow.

But God is saying, “well done! Stay steadfast. The winds of change are coming.”

After the rototilling is done, the next step is planting the seeds!

This doesn’t mean we can just kick back and relax. That would cause all our hard work to go to waste.

There’s still watering, weeding, and nurturing if we want it to grow and be fruitful.

But know that better days are coming.

We will receive the reward when we see that beautiful bud on that plant and watch it grow to its fullness!

We will eat and enjoy the fruits of our work and be happy when they produce a harvest!

If you know someone who will enjoy this or be encouraged by it, please feel free to share it with them!
