Today was the day the alfalfa was harvested. I walked earlier today and saw a farmer on the tractor. He had a straw hat on and waived to me. I then worked in the gardens for a while and I looked out my bedroom window and noticed activity in the field. I felt compelled to walk again with camera phone in hand. As I was approaching the fields I noticed seven birds flying in a circular pattern. I now know why that was for later on in the walk I saw a buzzard feasting on something. Actually, when I snapped the picture the shutter noise caused it to fly away I captured that also.
Very fascinating the harvesting of the alfalfa. It actually looks like bundles of hay or straw once it is bundled. I captured a few pictures so you can see it too. It was fascinating to watch. A machine goes first and it bundles or I should say it makes bundles and then another follows. It looked like a wagon to me and it collects the bundle that was just made and placed on the ground and it feeds it onto the wagon.
What can we reap from this experience? Do not get discouraged while you are waiting on your harvest. The harvest may have intended to be a few days earlier but circumstances may have prevented it from taking place that day. Remember, the one farm machine had to get new ties and then during the process of changing the tire the young man was trapped under the equipment. Sometimes you feel such an urgency inside of you that it needs to happen today or yesterday or even last week or last month. How many of you have felt like that? I know I have. Oddly enough, the circumstances that happened to possibly postpone the day of harvest then worked out to bless another too in the process. Possibly the dead carcass that was on the ground in the field was killed recently and as the farmers harvested and cleared the field it was not visible to the buzzard that needed to eat. Your blessing harvest just may be attached to another's life so hang in there and be patient. For when it is completed in God's time and He brings it forth it will bless possibly the nations among others that have been faithful in your life too. Would you rather have instant harvest and not the greater harvest that will sustain you and others for many years to come? Wait upon the Lord and let Him be the Lord of the Harvest for that harvest will be grander than you can even conceive of or imagine. You may be hoping for this, this, and that and He says "Oh no My child, I have something much grander than you can even imagine Trust in Me and lean not on your own understanding and I will direct your path. Did you not see through the pictures that I made a way for even the bird of the air to be taken care of and a meal prepared for it? Yes you did and I the same will not let you go to the winds of destruction but I will shield you with My wings of life and shelter you from the storms and darts being cast at you by the enemy. Stay secure in Me saith the Lord of the Harvest and I will give you rest, peace and abundance. Stay with Me and you will receive all of your needs met by Christ Jesus."
