Whether lost or loaned, it has been a long time since I’ve seen my copy of John Lawrence’s “Laws of the Harvest.” Never mind. Fact is I can’t seem to stop thinking about harvest these days.
One particular law really has my attention: we are only reaping the past today. That means future harvests will reflect what we sow today in character and quantity.
Don’t know about you, but sometimes I get so busy dealing with today’s harvest (very important, of course) that I forget I’m right now sowing the seeds of my contribution to tomorrow’s ingathering. So are you. And just like we’re harvesting, at least in part, what others previously planted, there will be those in the future who will harvest the results from our sowing today.
Puts a premium on future harvests and on the character of the seed we are sowing right now. A sobering yet powerful truth: “. . . for whatever a man sows this will he reap.” Gal. 6:7
