Are you getting discouraged because you haven’t seen the harvest you’ve been praying for?
In today’s episode, Mary Alessi takes us into James 5:7–11 and reminds us to look at seasons of waiting like a farmer waiting for a valuable crop. Just because you can’t see what’s happening above the surface doesn’t mean God isn’t working underneath it. Roots grow before fruit appears, and sometimes the waiting is where God does some of His deepest work in us.
We’ll be encouraged to stay rooted, keep planting good seeds, and resist becoming discouraged, bitter, or impatient with others while we wait. Biblical patience isn’t passive. It’s steady faith that continues to pray, serve, obey, and trust God even when the answer hasn’t arrived yet.
Let’s join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to strengthen our hearts in the waiting and give us the faith to believe that He is working beneath the surface and our harvest is growing.
