This morning, I feel like we have been given a gift, a reprieve from judgment. What is the purpose of the reprieve? I believe it is for harvesting the wheat. God has been doing a work in the last four years of separating the wheat from the tares. The tares have become pretty obvious. I believe that Jesus is saying, "Go and make the most of this reprieve to bring in the wheat harvest. Gather up more souls for His Kingdom." I woke up with a Bible verse running in my head like my marching orders.
Ephesians 5:15-17 AMB
Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as the wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people, making the VERY MOST of your time [on the earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days [are fille with] evil. Therefore, do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is.
Let's get to work today! Let's roll up our sleeves for the harvest is great and the workers are few. Let's be found working when Jesus returns, investing our talents and redeeming the time. Because when the reprieve is up, and the trumpet of God is blown for us to go home and rest, we want to be found worthy to escape the grape harvest.
God bless,
Yolanda
