“If this is my day of harvest, in what fields have I sowed the seed, and in what unremembered seasons?”
“The fields...are white already to harvest" (John 4:35 KJV), or as other versions put it, "ripe for harvest."...One part of the harvest metaphor we may have missed was the importance of timing-there is a season for both sowing and reaping, and sometimes there is a season of simply waiting and watering.”
“There is seed time and harvest, choose to sow at the right time so as to have a bountiful harvest.”
“It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.”
“The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.”
“With them the Seed of Wisdom did I sow, And with my own hand labour'd it to grow: And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd -- "I came like Water and like Wind I go.”
