“‘Behold, the days are coming,’ says the Lord, ‘When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of the grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine and all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of my people Israel; they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them, says the Lord your God’” (Amos 9:13-15). The fulfillment of this promise is based on the unconditional mercy and grace of God’s blessing. Security and stability for the heirs of our heavenly Father are not only for His future Kingdom but also for those serving Him in obedience right now. God is planting His people. The harvest we have been sowing for will be so great and come so quickly that we will enter into another season of reaping before the first is completed. We are supposed to enjoy the fruit of our labor. The Word of God confirms it again in Proverbs 14:23, “In all labor there is profit…” Financial provision is only one aspect of the blessings of God. Our harvest will come as we see sons and daughters saved for the glory of God. We will reap blessings in our physical bodies as we are healed and made whole. As captives are set free from years of emotional bondage, deliverance will become their portion and season of reaping. “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He, who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing His sheaves (His harvest) with Him…weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning” (Psalm 126:5-6, Psalm 30:5).
