Growing up on a farm, I can still remember how exciting harvest time was. All the excitement of getting the harvest machines ready for the harvest. I remember that the harvest took priority over everything else. We would work from daybreak until after dark. We knew that at anytime, a sandstorm or hailstorm could destroy the crop in just a few minutes. Harvest time was a fun time, but an urgent time as well. We really need to look around us and see that we are in a harvest time.

Pastor Bob “My House Will Be Called A House Of Prayer” Isaiah 56:7 Thank the Lord for His love for us. “Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23
