Our Land Will Yield Its Harvest

Today’s Scripture Readings:
OT: Isaiah 60
NT: Romans 12
W&W: Psalm 85

Today’s Reflection:

The Psalmist said, “The Lord will indeed give what is good and our land will yield its harvest” (Psalm 85.12).

God gives what is good and the land yields its harvest from what God gives. God plants the good seed of life. We are the land that receives the seed of life. We do not create life. Only God creates life – “And God saw that it was good…”

Pray with me today, “Oh, God, here am I! Give what is good to my land, to my ministry. Without you, without your good gift no harvest will come.”

This Week’s Scripture to Memorize:
Dare we try a whole chapter? If you have been working on this by the week, you will be able to do it! John 1.1-10: 1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. 3We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4We write this to make our joy complete. 5This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
