Hope of harvest...

Hope of harvest..

As I walked a path again, I found “fruits of the forest”...salal blooms-the beginnings of wonderful salal berries, thimble berries, huckleberries, salmon berries, unripened black berries as well as blueberries and grapes on the vine at the house...such abundance...

I witnessed a robin finding its meal, by tugging a poor worm from the ground and a rabbit quietly nibbling on grasses under a tree...food for a variety of living creatures...these animals living day to day on the bounty....

But,  back to the berries....I saw hope...some berries were ripe for the immediate picking and eating... others gave a future hope for harvest...provisions for various times...

It reminded me that God provides for the now and the later on...as we need it, whether for our souls or our bodies...He Provides...and we have to be ready...

I get letters of solicitation all the time for immediate help and planning help, for future projects concerning the  giving out of physical supplies as well as sharing the Word in various countries and languages...hope and food for the body and soul...the work is ongoing and will not end until the Lord’s returns...

 In looking around both in the physical and spiritual realms, there is hope for the harvest...we need to be watching, seeing the opportunities...whether in berry picking or soul care...hope of harvest...thank YOU for hope, harvest...provision...

The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us.

Psalm 67:6 

Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
