Dig deep

As Summer fades and Autumn falls, we must remain willing. Continue or simply begin loosening up the soil with in us, so that it is ready for the planting, so that it is ready for the harvest.

Should we neglect to dig deep, to break up our hard places through vulnerable time with the Savior, we may miss the Summer of our lives. We may miss the abundant harvest He wishes to plant in the soil of our soul.

As this weather season changed let our hearts change too! Let us turn from selfishness to selflessness, let us turn from pride to humility and Lord let us see the crops you've planted this season be harvested the next. Nurture our soil. Help us dig deep, down to the rich fertile goodness.

May your Autumn bring willingness to loosen up the soil within you and break up the hard places so He has a place to plant. nurture. grow. and produce a harvest that will glorify Him.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.

Later on, however, it produces a harvest of

righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Hebrews 12:11

It is hard to get up early. It is hard to throw back the warm blankets and reveal the cold air. It is not pleasant for me to get up and stumble to the coffee pot but the harvest that it will bring will be worth so much more than those extra few minutes under the cozy covers.
