The harvest
A time to look back with thankfulness and to look forward with hope in the Bible
The harvest is a time to consider all that God has done, providing, sustaining, helping, and blessing to remember that all we have is from God's hand, and so we thank him for it
But in the Bible, the harvest isn't just a time to look back in thankfulness, but also to look forward in hope, to remember that life isn't ultimately about food and crops and plants and profits
Life is about God, about knowing him, loving him, and serving him
Jesus once said, open your eyes and look at the fields
They are ripe for harvest
He wasn't talking about crops
He was talking about people, people who don't yet know, love and serve God
People who need to hear the good news of the gospel
So Christian, this harvest season, let's not forget to thank God for his everyday kindness and provision, but let's also not forget to pray
Pray to the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers and send them out into his field because God is the Lord of the harvest
