The Harvest

The views of these fields are so beautiful to my eyes, the unfamiliar color & tones are exciting and peaceful. I enjoy looking out into the depth of it all … and yet my understanding is lacking. For it wasn’t my hands who dug in the mud, planting the seeds. It isn’t my home depending on the harvest. I appreciate the beauty, but can’t fully understand the hard work that has gone into it, day after day, the sore legs and back pain that comes as a result.

Lord, let me not lose sight of the work that has been done before me, the seeds that have been planted that need watering & care. Help me to step into the field, to dig deep into the mud, to be a part of the harvest; and may it be plentiful! Keep my eyes sharp and alert to what matters in your kingdom.
