“Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense.” – Proverbs 12:11
Life has its natural laws. Working against any of them can only bring misery and pain. To me, it makes perfect sense to take some time to study and understand them.
The law of the harvest states:
1. You have to plough the ground.
2. Plant the seed.
3. Water the seed.
4. Reap the harvest.
The above steps look simple to me. They are not easy, but simple. Simple because they are not complicated to follow, the sequence is clear. Implementing them requires discipline, focus, and patience, which are not easy. Remember, there are two kinds of pain in the world, the pain of discipline and that of regret. The pain of discipline happens at the moment when you do what you have to do, as difficult and painful as it is. The pain of regret weighs heavily at the end when you avoided the pain of discipline by not doing what you were supposed to do. These are the could have been, should have been, wish I have known better, etc. When this happens, that’s when you know you messed up.
Every day, you have the right and wrong seeds with you. One thing is for sure, if you plant the wrong ones, they won’t come out positive. Plant the right seeds and water them through repetition and continue with it even though it looks like nothing is happening. In the right time, the good plant will come out.
Finally, like a farmer, keep expecting and believing that your due season is coming. Declare that the good you have planted in your life will manifest. Every season has an end for harvest to begin. Embrace the process!
