Yeah, I know. I need to make every season count. And I need to make every season of my life count, too.

But I’m thinking of summer right now because it’s summer, and because I just read this verse:

“He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame” (Proverbs 10:5).

Not just any kind of gathering will do, of course:

“The labour of the righteous tendeth to life” (Proverbs 10:16).

And what about what Jesus said?

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest” (John 4:35).

Let me not sleep, but gather…the right harvest!
