Unnatural Favor

 Scripture:

““The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills,”‭‭Amos‬ ‭9:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Observation:

God had been warning Israel through Amos concerning their punishment for their sins. He was prophesying some terrible things. Even in the midst of that, the Lord adds, “The days are coming when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes.” In other words, the amazing blessing of God will come again when Israel repented.

Application:

Even in in punishment, God is thinking about restoration. He is thinking about blessing His children. When He blesses, He blesses so much that there is almost continual harvest. As soon as the harvesters are going through, the planters are planting more. When God blesses something or someone, there is a harvest that comes fast and strong. We want to live under the blessing of the Almighty in continual harvest.

Prayer:

Lord God, let Your blessing be on my life. Let the harvest come while the planters are still planting. Let Your blessing be seen in the church I lead. Let Your blessing be on my family. Come and bless Your people. We will give You all the glory, honor, and esteem. You are the only one worthy. I pray for unnatural favor.

Yours,

Jeff
