The Harvest

October 2005

Just days after writing "In Need of a Savior", I attended a Beth Moore simulcast.  The Holy Spirit spoke volumes to me through Psalm 126.  I have been consuming the seed of the Word of God, but in some areas of my life I have not been sowing it.  All my life I have let insecurity carry me away and distract me.  So many times in my life I have bowed to the idol of security.  The Lord is telling me to "step out!"  take that step of faith.  Believe Him!  And trust in God Almighty.  He is mighty to save.  Praise Your name, Elshadai.

The Harvest

Here I stand with my basket of seed

As the Sower comes

To plant them in my deepest need

And warm them with the Son.

As the Living Water flows

And saturates my soul

I feel the sprouts begin to rise

As new life starts to grow.

O God, I pray the Gardener finds

Soil rich and dark

Fertilized by countless tears

In the depths of my heart.

Now in the distance I can hear

The Harvester come for me ~

His laughter ringing in my ear

Declaring that I am free!

I labor not in vain, I know

For the Harvester's on His way,

As songs of joy burst from my soul

And he carries me away.

"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy."  

Psalm 126:5
