You have entered a season of unusual harvest. You thought that once you harvest this current crop you would need to plow again and sow more seed, but God has another plan. As you enter your field of labor and begin to harvest this current crop another crop will sprout up beneath your feet.
The cycle of normal seasons has ended. You are entering a time where one season will overtake another and all your efforts will become a single act of harvesting. An unusual moment in history is here that will manifest simultaneous seasons of reaping and violate the natural laws of harvest. As Amos the prophet said, “The time will come, says the Lord when the grain and grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested.”
Let God humble you as you experience this harvest. The people who have gone before you planted seeds in anticipation of a future harvest they would not get to see. Harvest this crop in humility knowing that you have been sovereignly positioned in this unusual moment of history. This harvest will come forth not because you are more faithful than those who have gone before you. This harvest is coming because God has said, “This is the time” and you happened to be the one present when the harvest began.
That verse from Amos had been coming to my mind lately. I am a artist and two of my recent paintings have had the theme of the ripeness of the harvest. Thank you for this confirming word. Blessings!
