Harvest is on the way!

Sometimes we sow a 'seed' of faith, and wonder when we'll see the 'harvest' God promised. Here's a Bible passage to help us understand the process: 'The Kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come' (Mark 4:26-29 NKJV).

Before we reap the harvest of blessing God promises, we'll go through certain stages. First, the 'not knowing' stage. The 'seed' of our dream is buried in the ground. How and when it develops is entirely up to God. But we must believe that it will happen. Next comes the 'blade' stage. It's just a tiny blade blowing in the breeze, but it's enough to encourage us that our harvest is on the way. Next comes the 'head' stage. The seed has started to sprout and look like what we prayed for. This is when we must water it with prayer, nourish it with God's word and protect it from anything or anyone that would uproot it through doubt and unbelief. Finally we enter the 'full grain' stage when the grain ripens and we reap the harvest.

 

So what now? Whatever stage of the faith process you're in, stand strong and keep trusting God. Your harvest is on the way.
