How Are You Speaking To God, Lowly or Loudly?

When Is Your Harvest Time Do You Know?

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” Ecclesiastes. 3:1

Every once in a while you come across a song that just sticks with you. “To everything there is a season.” (Ecclesiastes. 3:1-8) This famous quote, used in a popular folk song, illustrates that you must know the season you are in and act accordingly. God determines the seasons; over them you have no control. But with awareness, you can control your response.

Act appropriately!

Challenge yourself, for by knowing seedtime from harvest, you will act appropriately and not try to pick flowers in the winter or plant seeds in the summer. The move toward God-ordained wealth does not happen all at once; you must take action according to the proper season and have the patience to let events play out. Opportunity rewards the prepared and fortune favors the brave, but you cannot force spring to turn into summer. You must discern the season and act according to it to prosper and be in health. While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22.

Act according to the season!

To show you what I mean you may ask yourself, how do you act according to the season? Well, in Spring, you plant the seeds you will harvest in autumn. That might mean getting an education, making contacts, or investing your money. In Summer, things are planted and growing, but here come the pests to attack them. So you must protect what you have planted and at the same time, prepare for your harvest. This might mean filing a patent for your invention or getting insurance for your business. In Autumn, it’s harvest time. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Matthew: 13: 8

This is the time when the money should flow, but you’ve got to be ready to catch it! This is the time when you’ll hire new people, run that race you’ve prepared for, or sell your house. And in Winter, you’ll run into obstacles. Things dry up. Business is harder. Now you’re going to sit back, out of the snow and sleet, and learn the lessons from your previous year. You’ll look at your mistakes and get ready to plant again in Spring.

God’s Kingdom, a season of plenty always comes around again!

Knowing the season you are in is perhaps the best example of God’s wisdom at work in you. If you understand the seasons and can discern your season at any time, you will never be discouraged. You will know that a setback is just your transition into Winter and that Spring will come around again.

Used crisis as a springboard!


Did you know that most of the wealthiest people in the country went broke at one time or another, some several times? They used crisis as a springboard for even greater wealth. They were able to do this because they understood the cycle of the seasons, and that if you stay true to God’s Kingdom; a season of plenty always comes around again.
