Psalm 107 cont’d:
They sowed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest; he blessed them, and their numbers
greatly increased, and
he did not let their herds diminish.
What a pretty picture of a healthy family, one
with a great spread in the country, gorgeous trees in a vineyard that are heavy
with fruit, and cattle grazing on the hillside!
Have you seen those images on any road trips you’ve taken? I’ve seen them, and sometimes I want to stop
and picnic under a shade tree and just gaze at the beauty.
God enables us to experience great times of
planting and harvest, of yielding fruit, of experiencing his blessings, and of
exponential growth. That’s all part of
our walk with him.
However, we know that our entire lives do not
consist of times like these, because rains fall, drought occurs, and storms
happen.
It’s important to give him thanks in both
situations, because He is good forever…not just when our lives are picture
perfect.
Are you thriving right now? Give thanks.
Are you struggling right now?
Give thanks. God loves us in both
seasons, and is the Lord of all.
