I understand why so many of the analogies in the New Testament revolve around the seasons and farming. Yes they were a subsistent people Jesus was talking to. But they are also helpful for a contemporary society far removed from the agricultural one Jesus spoke into.

Reading the seasons of your life and your church is wisdom.

Is it time to focus on preparing, sowing, waiting or reaping?

All these stages may happen all at once. But I truly think there is a time to focus on one or the other. There is also a time to know what you are trying to harvest, and therefore what you should plant.

You don’t have because you don’t ask. Ask.
