36 And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and now you would take Benjamin. All this has come against me.” 37 Then Reuben said to his father, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you. Put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.” 38 But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.” ~ Genesis 42:36–38
Jacob felt like everything was against him, but in fact, God was for him and was working it all out in his favor. His harvest was near. It was so close that he could almost reach out and touch it. Still, Jacob felt like everything was against him. He felt like he couldn’t win for losing. But the truth of the matter was that God was working it all out, even if he couldn’t see it then. He would see his favorite son Joseph again. The same son he had presumed dead for all of those years.
And that is how it is with us sometimes. Maybe you might feel like that.
Maybe you might feel like every time your ship is on the horizon, the fog swoops in, and you lose sight of it? If that is indeed you, don’t turn and walk away. Or maybe your ship is in the harbor, but a storm is brewing and won’t allow your ship to dock? Let me encourage you, don’t give up. Maybe you are under a spiritual attack? Don’t stop praying. Maybe the enemy is attacking you because it is YOUR harvest time. This is the time for you to put on your armor and go to spiritual war and take that which belongs to you.
Those dreams you’ve dreamed for so long are finally here, and it’s time for you to fight. Don’t give up; Pray up. Seek and cry out to Almighty God. He is your refuge. He will never let you sink. Ask, and you will be given; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened.
Prepare for the Spiritual Warfare that is ahead of you. Remember that every time harvest time was near for the people of Israel, the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the people of the East would come up against them and steal their harvest. And as a reminder, you are no different. God doesn’t love you any more or any less than they. He is a God of love and will deliver you out of every situation.
Keep praying. Keep fighting. If you hold on to God, He will hold on to you and bring you through this time of spiritual attack. He will take you to the other side, and you will reap your harvest.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Fight For Your Harvest.
