When you want a harvest.

When a farmer wants a harvest, He prays for a harvest. He gets seed. He prepares the grown and puts the seed in to the ground. Then, he waters there the seed is. He keeps the weeds from growing faster than the seed. He watches that the insects do not eat the plant. He makes sure that the frost doesn’t get too close and kill the seed. Then by the miracle of God, the farmer sees the fruit of his labor and reaps his harvest.

What a harvest the farmer receives.

Why then do Christians pray for a harvest and plant the seed and then do nothing expecting God to do everything. Maybe God has something for us to do while we are waiting for the plant to grow. Maybe we should have prepared the ground by praying before we sew the seed. Maybe we need to water the ground or pull the weeds. Maybe we need to keep praying and keep our mind clean. And, maybe we need to wait while the harvest ripens before we take the harvest.

Are you wanting a harvest? Have you prepared the ground (prayed about it). Have you sowed your seed where he wants you to sow it? Do you continue to water it (pray for it) Do you for opportunities God might be giving you to have a harvest? Are you preparing for the harvest by keeping the commandments? Keeping a pure heart?

When you do, maybe then God will give you the harvest for which you have been praying and waiting.
