Before the rain, must come the harvest. I’m reminded every time I’m home on the farm, and either farmer brother or father-in-law is late to supper, because a storm is coming…
Harvest is not the only thing timed for the rain though.
Before the rain must come the plowing, the planting…
How else is Heaven’s blessing to be received deep?
Before the blessing must come the breaking.
Before the planting must come the plowing.
Before the green shoot, the steel blade.
Before the crowning, the cutting.
"Break up your fallow ground... Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your heart.” Jer. 4:3, 4
The rain is coming.
"Before the blessing must come the breaking.

Oh Sean... This was timely. Thank you.
Yeah, these words are right. The harvest is worth the breaking and the cutting I think. :)
