'Harvest Time!' A Conceptual Collage

Greetings Steemians! Today I would like to share with you all the verses I found that pertain to the harvest of the Lord. Hopefully by reading these alongside eachother, God's heavenly harvest plan will become even more clear for you in your walk. Some verses pertain to a visible and material harvest, and others pertain to the spiritual planting and harvesting we can all partake in as Christians.

What a great illustrator our God is! He has planted so many clear symbols with meanings throughout the Bible that it becomes impossible for a child of God to become bored with the Word. Everytime I go back to the Word, I learn something new and find new connections. The Bible is one story; it is all about God gathering his eternal family, a.k.a the HARVEST.

May these verses be a blessing to you during your time of prayer and prayerful meditation throughout the day!
