HARVEST IS COMING!

by
Kent Cooley

(Adapted from Matthew 16:26; Ephesians 2:8)

When I was just a boy in the 70's, I remember a song by Joel Hemphill that left a great impression on me.

Pity the man who has treasures to hold

Yet he holds not the peril of great price.

Pity the man though he lives long on earth

Yet he holds not the giver of life.

Doctor or lawyer, traveler or merchant,

Builder who builds on the sand.

Pauper or King to be saved is the thing.

If he’s lost then pity the man.

At the beginning of this new year, we once again re-evaluated our goals and looked back over what has been accomplished from where we were last January. I am not just speaking of the monetary and financial aspects of life. I speak of accomplishments and achievements in the spiritual realm as well. Most of the time there is a price to pay for God's perfect will and one's destiny. It is a process that takes faith, patience and time. Few people pursue just this in their lifetime. But it is so worth it – the journey as well as the destination. I would not change places with the most elite in town. However, I do believe a harvest time is coming. It always does after seed is planted, watered and tended to. It is God's way. There is a harvest in this life from seed sown but the greater harvest is eternal.

Father, thank you for this journey that you have me on. It is exciting to think about the spiritual truths that are yet to dawn on me. It is exciting to wonder what is the next chapter in this season on earth. We really do have it made because when all is said and done in my life and all my accomplishments have been achieved and my destiny road ends, I will move into my mansion and begin a new life in heaven! Wow! Let the redeemed of the Lord say, "We've got it made!

WE’VE GOT IT MADE

Devotion: Harvest is Coming!

(Adapted from Matthew 16:26; Ephesians 2:8)

Chorus

We’ve got it made

We’ve been washed in the blood of the Lamb

We’ve got it made

We won the prize for the race Jesus ran

We’ve got it made

Our debt’s been paid

We’ve got it made

By His grace we’ve been saved

Verse

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob dug wells

That all of their children would receive

Though they shed not one drop of sweat to dig,

Still they came for generations to drink

In the garden of Gethsemane,

Jesus shed great drops of blood

Digging a well of salvation,

With joy we can drink from because of His love.
