I think I can safely say it’s my season of “plowing”. Last week I was reading Proverbs 20 and came across this verse: Proverbs 20:4 NIV Sluggards do not plow in season; so at harvest time they look but find nothing. I love this farming analogy that God uses, it’s so perfect. Sowing seeds, tending the fields, plowing, so the crops can be prepared for harvest…that’s how life is!

A little background, I quit my job at the end of last year, started a company and since then have been working on my own. I’m still figuring stuff out and sometimes I just feel like, “what am I doing??” and then I read this: The seed is the word of God. – Luke 8:11.

And that made me happy. Think about all of life’s different seasons. God takes you through each and every one of them for a reason. To make it to harvest though, all you need is the word of God…that’s it! First, plant the right seeds in your life (speak God’s word into your life to match whatever season you’re going through), then plow them (pray, believe), and keep going until harvest comes! Yes, this is super simplified but that’s pretty much what it is!

I’m plowing in my season right now, but I know harvest is coming. Who knows how long this season will take or how long “harvest” will be. Of course I want harvest to come sooner rather than later haha, but I can find peace in knowing that what I am doing now is taking me somewhere. The work, the learning is not in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:58 says to stand firm and let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

God is preparing you for harvest. So stay focused and keep going.

With love,
