I
grew up in Kansas where I have observed the wonder and beauty of many wheat
fields. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a well prepared wheat field
that has just been planted. To a person
that is not a farmer, it probably just looks like so much dirt. However, I know what is about to happen. In a few weeks that field will be a beautiful
carpet of green. All through the cold
winter that field remains green. In the
spring it becomes a verdant mass of green as it grows. Later in the early summer it begins to turn to
a wonderful golden color as it gently waves in the summer Kansas breezes. Seemingly overnight each wheat stock bows
its head with the weight of its precious content.
Now
it is harvest time! I used to love to
watch the golden wheat gush into the hopper of the combine as it moved slowly
up and down the wheat field. When the
hopper was heaped up with wheat, dad would pull the truck up beside the combine
and begin to auger the wheat into the truck as my brother and I would let the
wheat pour over our bare feet.
` I
know that God is watching your spiritual musical harvest and, if He has feet,
He is letting the results of that harvest pour over them as he looks upon
spiritual harvest that you have been responsible for pour into His great
harvest storehouse. Zephaniah 3:17
reminds us as his servants, “The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he
will joy over thee with singing.”
