so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing. (Proverbs 20:4)
The law of the harvest is both undeniable and unavoidable. We reap what we sow, we reap more than we sow, and we reap after we sow. Since we live in an age of instant gratification, many people struggle with the concept of having to wait to see the harvest. The sluggard in Proverbs has nothing at harvest time because he sowed nothing in the spring. Although there are people like that in our world today, there are others who never reap their full potential because they didn't see the results of their initial sowing soon enough.
When I first came to Anderson, it took me four months to get a client base established. The truth is, months 2 & 3 were very discouraging. Mine is a commission-based business, which means that no clients equals no money. It was a tough time. I could have quit and gone back to Charleston saying, "This deal just didn't work out for me." Instead, I pushed through (push... Pray Until Something Happens). I kept plugging away from early morning until late in the evening. The results were from April through December I became one of the top producers in my organization and won "Trainer of the Month" more than anyone else.
If you know you're doing what God has given you to do. Give it all you've got. Keep sowing and watering... in time you will experience the reaping!
