Proverbs 10:5
“He
who gathers crops in summer is a wise son,
but
he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.”
There
are seasons in our lives and this proverb tells us that we need to gather in
harvest. Whenever I found myself pregnant with another child I knew it was my
time to gather as much spiritual input as possible. I knew that once that baby came there would
be ”sparse pickin’s” for a while with the nursing, ear infections, sleepless
nights and devotion to that child. Those
were the seasons I went to every bible study, retreat and conference I could
attend storing up truths that would hold me through the spiritually barren time
I was about to face. We never know when
sickness or other demands will come upon us and we won’t be able to gather the
Word of God as we might have opportunity now.
It is a wise thing to soak up His teachings, promises and instruction
while the harvest is accessible and we have the time to do so. Every wise woman builds her home and it is
with the fine materials of God’s Word that cause that house to stand.
