Amos I
Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; (Amos 9:13 ESV)
Blessings
This is an incredible promise. God says, through Amos, that a time is coming when the person ploughing the land in preparation of planting will somehow be plowing AFTER the harvesters! No, it is not time travel… but rather, the land will be THAT fertile that the planting overtakes the harvesting!
It would be like investing in a company, and receiving dividends before your investment check clears.
It would be like winning a football game before the initial coin toss.
It would be like playing Monopoly with your grandchildren before your own children were born.
The point is that God’s promised blessings are so absolute that we can count on them before our first steps of life. The point is that God’s promised blessings are so extreme that we will be overwhelmed by them beyond our mathematical ability to calculate them. The point is that God’s promised blessings are more amazing than any other amazing thing you have ever been amazed at… amazingly!
His blessings are amazing.
