We are already in June. June is when Summer begins. Summer is a time when Farmers are busy with the land and family, planting, tilling, watching and surveilling for rodents and other pests that might destroy the crops, They also apply vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and other nutrients to the ground to ensure good healthy soil and crops.
Vitamins are for the nutrition of the plants, and act especially in the regulation of metabolic processes. So farmers are concerned with making sure that all of the internal and external processes and conditions are present for a healthy harvest. They take responsibility for the health of the crops and the soil.
Enzymes catalyze or set off specific biochemical reactions The word enzyme comes from a root word that means leaven. As you know, if you put a little leaven in dough, it will affect the whole lump of dough. It changes it. Farmers know that their investment in the land will set off positive reactions that will bless their family and their community. It will change their communities and their futures for the better.
Minerals such as stone, coal, salt, sulfur, sand, petroleum, water, or natural gas are obtained usually from the ground. Minerals are needed because it helps plants as well as our bodies grow, develop, and stay healthy.
Farmers know that this is critical so they are dedicated in Summer to watch over and continually nourish their seed/investment, their family and their ministry. Summer is a time of priorities This is a time of investment in the land and in the family. They also train their sons and daughters to take care if the land.
Farmers know that it is important to have their priorities in order. No investment/no seed = no harvest. Farmers don’t tell the land, “see you in September.” Their harvest is dependent upon their work/their investment.
Remember, What we do for others, God will do for us. (Luke 6:31). Do everything as unto the Lord (Col 3:23).
Remember, you are a farmer. What is your vision for this Summer? Are you watching over your land? It’s not time to let go of everything and relax all Summer long. It’s time to engage as a farmer and cultivate what God has placed in your hands!
2 Timothy 2:6 “The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.”
