WOV 760 "For the Fruit of All Creation"
Devotion
Fall is the best time of year, mostly because it is time for the harvest. The earth brings forth its bounty of barley, wheat, beans, corn, potatoes and sugar beats. The fruit of creation and the rewards of labor are hopefully bountiful.
A farmer can prepare the soil, buy the best seed and take the greatest care, but ultimately we are reminded that this world belongs to God. For between the planting and the harvest there is the time of waiting when only God can do the work.
God is constantly working and harvesting. God works in our care for one another. God works in our care of the earth. And only God can work through the death of Jesus and give us new life and make us part of God’s new creation. Thanks be to God.
