A Heavenly Crop

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord.  The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.” (James 5:7)

In the dead of winter, spring seems so far away.  The snow lies upon the ground, every morning is cold in your bones, and the car windshield needs constant scraping.  All lies fallow, lifeless, and tired… but be patient.

Spring is here before we know it. The birds begin to chirp, the buds open up, and the green returns with its luster.  The seasons teach us that when we are patient, the best days are ahead, and typically, they are here much quicker than we expected.

Our journey here seems long sometimes, but believe me, it goes by quickly.  This life is but a vapor (see James 4:13) in the annals of eternity.  You are planting a heavenly crop, dear Christian.  Be patient.
