The Harvest.

I think we sometimes forget that harvests can’t last forever. At some point the harvest will end and have to be replenished. The only way to replenish it is by stripping away the old and allowing room for the new. I remember being in this season, where it felt as if everything I knew was being taken away from me, and because of that I found myself in a state of hyper-vigilance feeling as if I had to solve everything right away. Putting myself in a place of stress and worry, completely forgetting the one who holds my life in His hands.

This morning I opened up my devo, and it took me back to that state of mind when I read the first sentence of the passage. “I want you to trust me enough to relax in my presence.” I then proceeded to open my bible to ready Psalm 62:8 “Trust in Him at all times; ye people pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us.” In this season, God was revealing to me areas in my life where I thought I trusted Him, but in actuality didn’t. He taught me to lean on Him more than I ever had and I found such a peace in His healing light.

It is so easy to get caught up in a “me” mentality where we only focus on what’s going on around us, but I’m learning to give over EVERY aspect of my life to the Lord and every worry and uncertainty, trusting in His promises over my life.

The way we act in our current season will determine our harvest and I refuse to sow seeds of worry and anxiety ever again. I will rejoice in the sowing seasons and trust in the one who holds tomorrow in His hands.
