Rules of the Harvest ― Rule 2

Since December is “harvest time” for many businesses, this week, we’re talking about the “rules of the harvest.” The second rule is, “Harvest time requires diligence and perseverance.”

As a teenager, I occasionally worked on my uncle’s farm. One year it was time for Dwayne, a local farmer, to harvest his corn, but bad weather was expected soon. Dwayne combined corn for 48 straight hours―leaving him completely exhausted. But, by giving it everything that he had, his hard work paid off handsomely.

Proverbs 10:5 teaches, “He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.”

If you want to maximize your return during harvest time, you need to be like Dwayne and be diligent and persevere.
