Turn with me to two openings in the scriptures this evening.

We've been on a series for some weeks now entitled How to Harvest.

How to Harvest.

You know, I'm a practical sort of guy.

I only want to hear about theory so long, and then I want somebody tell me how to do it.

Right?

Because it doesn't make any difference how flowery and great it sounds or how pretty if you can hang it on the wall.

If it doesn't produce anything, if it doesn't work, if you don't know how to do it, it's not going to be

any good. And the Lord doesn't give us useless information, does he? His word is powerful and

amazing. None of his words are void of power, and none of them fail to produce what he sent

them to produce. If you'd find in Proverbs, the 10th chapter, and Ecclesiastes 11, Proverbs 10, and then we'll go to Ecclesiastes 11,

you just hold that, and they're put up on the screen for us, Genesis 822.

Genesis 822, we've read this repeatedly.

It says, while the earth remains, seed time and harvest and cold and heat and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

This principle of cycles is God's creation and everything works on it.

You see the writer of Ecclesiastes talks about this, and you can see it in nature.

Long before people understood any of it, he was talking about the cycles of the waters and the springs

and the rivers flowing into the ocean and then the evaporation and then it all happening again

and the seasons. Everything is cyclical. God has made it that way.

And one of the principles of cycles is sowing and reaping.

You plant and then you can reap and then when you reap you can plant again.

Right?
