Title: Harvest!

-
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase(harvest) Psalms 85:12 KJV 
Devotion: It is thanksgiving time, as we sing praises to God and worship Him let's quickly talk about harvest today because it is the most important area of Christian journey. I'll follow the outline below.
The Symbolic Meaning of Harvest
In Scripture, the symbolic meaning of harvest encompasses two main areas: God's provision for us and God's blessing for others. The gathering of things planted is a natural time of reaping in joy what has been produced during the year.
Growth and Harvest
As we walk in the ways of God, in time we will see a harvest. Growth takes time and requires seasons. A life of faith is similar to the growth of plants, and as we practice God's way, we see growth over time (Galatians 6:9).
The Importance of Laborers
The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Jesus instructs us to ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest field (Luke 10:2).
Consequences of Disobedience
However, disobedience can lead to a failed harvest. Isaiah warns that those who feel secure will tremble, and the grape harvest will fail (Isaiah 32:10).
Reaping What We Sow
The principle of reaping what we sow is evident in the harvest. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness (James 3:18). Conversely, the lazy will have no harvest (Proverbs 6:8).
Separation and Judgment
Finally, the harvest is also a time of separation and judgment. Jesus teaches that at the time of harvest, the weeds will be collected and burned, while the wheat will be gathered into the barn (Matthew 13:10).
In conclusion, the spiritual meaning of harvest is multifaceted, encompassing God's provision, blessing, growth, labor, obedience, and judgment. As we reflect on the harvest, may we be reminded of our responsibility to sow seeds of righteousness and to labor in God's harvest field. I pray that we will not be counted as weeds fit for the fire in Jesus' name Amen. Hallelujah.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
