Seedtime and Harvest

We want everything to happen fast but that’s not the way the world works. Unless there’s a miraculous intervention in time, then it’s always seed – time – and – then harvest. We sow – things grow – and we reap, but it’s not designed to happen overnight.

To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven.
Eccl 3:1

And

He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Eccl 3:11

God can intervene in time but we can’t.

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." From The Lord of the Rings

We can’t change time but we can work with it. There’s no sense in being frustrated with something we can’t change. We need to learn to work with what we have and not fret about what we have not. We need to live in the now and stop trying to rush to the then.

Now is now and now is good.
Enjoy your life, do what you should,
Today you’re reaping, what you’ve been sowing,
And keep on sowing, things are growing.

Gal 6:7-8
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
NKJV

Mark 4:26-29
26 And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."
NKJV

Gen 8:22
22 "While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease."
NKJV

Mark 4:26-29
26 And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."
