THE UNSEEN POWER OF THE HARVEST

The story goes of a small church in England at the beginning of World War II that was preparing for its Harvest Celebration. The members had lovingly brought the first fruits of their harvest on Saturday night to prepare the altar. There was produce of every kind placed upon the altar: lettuce, corn, and radishes.
Early the next morning the Germans began the war with a blitz on England. The small church was destroyed. The ceiling fell in, and the walls collapsed.
One year later, the minister of the church was passing by and noticed that there was a small green sprout growing right where the altar had been. It was pushing its head up through the rubble. Several weeks later, several stalks of corn appeared.
Out of the destruction and desolation of the war, God’s creation continues.
Have you been bold in your life to the point that you are still letting the seeds of faith that were sown in your heart as a child sprout? You see, God’s harvest has not come to fruition in your life yet and the harvest is going to be glorious for all to see.

Mid-week Prayer

Glorious God, sometimes we feel as though destruction is everywhere when what You invite us to view is the beginning of Your new creations. You promised that the Word and water would allow us to enter the Kingdom of heaven, so Holy God, bring your world to the glory of a full harvest every day into eternity. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
