reminder: read proverb 20
Focus text:
4 A sluggard does not plow in season;
so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.
Reflection: A rather familiar saying is "Don't save for tomorrow what you can do today." It is very true. It is not wise to save for tomorrow what you can do today. But it is funny how we tend to put some things off as if tomorrow is promised. Let me put this into perspective. The focus text says a sluggard or a lazy person does not plow in season. In other words, this type of person does not take advantage of the opportunity to plant when it is planting season, or grow when it is growing season. Because of this they go to find the fruits after the season has passed and come up empty. no one wants to come up empty.
Let me make this relevant. This is the time to spend growing and trying to get closer to God. It does not do us any good to put this opportunity off till later. A time is coming where we will be tested and when we go to our tool box we what to be sure that we understand how to use all of our tools. Have you ever been searching for something, knowing that you left it in a certain spot, and came to discover that it was not where you thought you left it? Can you recall the frustration you went through trying to find it? I mean you thought you left it there.
This is the same type of concept we must have in our spiritual life. When times are easy and when you are feeling wonderful, plant seeds of hope, patience, and love. Find a way to increase you faith. Find a way to demonstrate love. Find some time to pray. Find somewhere to serve. Find somewhere to give. Find a way to get closer to God. Do this so that when harvest times come you will be able to reap what you have sowed. So that when you need love, you will know where you can find it. When you need faith, when you need help, when you need anything you will have properly positioned yourself for God to grant your request.
Let us not position ourselves to come up empty by not seeking God in these good and blessed times. If you are blessed, it is your season and in your season you are to still seek God with the same fervor that you would if you were in serious challenge
now that's God's wisdom. Give God the same intense type of Glory, reverence, and time, whether in challenge or triumph. That's good
Thank you God
Be Blessed
