DAILY READINGS: 2 Sam. 1:1-27; Micah 3:1-4:8; Romans 9:30-10:21
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. Jeremiah 8:20, KJV
God has arranged the seasons for the blessing of mankind. The sun shines warm during summer, bringing forth a bountiful harvest before the onset of winter. God has also made such an arrangement for man in the spiritual sense. The bright sun of God’s Gospel has bathed our planet for over two thousand years now, and the harvest is still being brought in. But the signs are that the day of God’s grace is about to close, and the terrible day of God’s vengeance is about to break. When the harvest has been gathered in, will you be left behind to face the judgment of God for all of eternity? —W. H. Burnett
Then hasten O sinner, whilst He will receive thee,
The harvest is passing, the summer will end. —Anonymous
