Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. – James 5:7

A godly farmer waits with patience because he knows God’s covenant. God has said, “Seed time and harvest, summer and winter, shall not cease,” and the Christian farmer, knowing this, is confident. Oh, what strong confidences have we who have looked to Christ, and who are resting on the faithful word of a covenant God! He cannot fail us; it is not possible that He should allow our faith to be confounded. “Heaven and earth may pass away,” and they shall, but His Word shall not fail! They who sow in faith shall reap abundantly; the glory shall be theirs. And, brother workers, if we do not, for a time, see all the results we expect, yet the Lord has said, “Surely all flesh shall see the salvation of God.” The day must come when the dwellers in the wilderness shall bow before Him and lick the dust. “He has set His King upon His holy hill of Zion,” and they who said, “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast their cords from us,” will have to submit themselves, and lick the dust at His feet! Have courage, therefore; the covenant stands good, the harvest must come as surely as the seed time has come.

Let us cheerfully resign ourselves to the Lord’s will in suffering, for as others of His saints who went before us have reaped His blessing, so shall we! Let us work on for our Lord and Master, knowing that apostles and confessors, and a great cloud of witnesses who have gone before have seen great results, and so shall we; let us patiently tarry till the Lord comes, for as in the first coming those who waited for Him rejoiced, so shall those who are found watching and waiting at His second advent. We have not only the promise of God, but that promise fulfilled to tens of thousands who have preceded us! ~ C.H. Spurgeon
