WAIT FOR GOD’S TIMING!

Deuteronomy 23:24 – Devotional

Deuteronomy 23:24

“When you come into your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat your fill of grapes at your pleasure, but you shall not put any in your container.“

Years ago when my boyhood friend and I invaded our neighbor’s vineyard we had no idea there was Scripture that seemed to permit us to eat the grapes. All we knew was that there were Concord grapes that were begging for us to eat them. The problem was that we often picked them before they were ripe. The consequence was the green grapes made us sick.

Many times in our life we run ahead of God and try to pick spiritual “grapes” before they are ripe. God’s timing is always so much better than ours. He knows the heart of each individual.

One day I spoke with a widow in a cemetery who was sobbing pitifully. She shared with me that someone had stolen flowers from her husband’s grave and had also taken the grave marker. All I could do was listen to her and pray for her. We eventually were able to replace the grave marker.

God knows when the timing is right. We need to watch carefully for the season to progress and the fruit become ripe. We need to always be ready to glean in the Lord’s vineyard. He will bring the increase.

Blessings dear hearts! Walk with God today and be a blessing.
