Genesis 9; Matthew 4:12–25
They rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest. Isaiah 9:3
Ground that drinks up the rain falling on it repeatedly and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a blessing from God. Hebrews 6:7
When times are difficult, when winter storms come, when weeds threaten a good crop, it can be difficult to be thankful, O God. But with you, the storms will cease, and the harvest is sure. Thank you, God. Amen.
