Read these Bible verses about harvest to see what God’s Word has to say about reaping a harvest – bearing spiritual fruit, diligence, endurance, and more.
The Fall season is a wonderful time to incorporate Bible verses about harvest into your personal quiet time, as well as in ministry studies and activities that you’re involved in.
As the season changes from summer to autumn, we have a beautiful metaphor for the necessary changes that we experience in life.
Just like there is a time for the farmer to sow and a time to reap a harvest, there are seasons where we will sow diligently, and may not see the fruit of our labor, but soon the seasons will change and harvest will come.
The analogy of harvesting can be used for many different parts of our lives, whether that is in our relationships, our jobs, or personal goals. But it is especially applicable to our spiritual lives, as we abide in Christ, and bear fruit.
I hope that these harvest Bible verses will encourage you not to grow weary in the seasons of plowing the soil and sowing the seeds, because, in due time, you will reap a harvest if you don’t give up.
