John 4:35
Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

As I searched God's Word for an answer this morning, I came upon this line, and it clicked! I have been surrounded by problems and issues that are immediate. And its amazing that God's answers don't always cater to the problem. Rather, He takes my eyes off them. Here it is, plain and simple: "Look at the fields!"

Having difficulty with relationships? Look at the fields!
Having trouble at home? Look at the fields!
Need healing in your heart? Look at the fields!

The good news for us is that God has prepared a harvest in every situation. If only we'd take our eyes off our petty issues and look outwardly - at the fields! What a great provision!

Yes, Lord. I will focus on Your harvest. Only You can bring me consolation and encouragement. As always. I shouldn't depend on anyone. Only You, God. Thank You so much that I can worship You even in the storm! Pheeewww! Isn't He amazing?

I have found exceeding joy
Jesus answered when I called
This name that has saved me
Pure love that embraced me

Mercy, grace, eternal life
Bought from darkness to His light
While lost in my sin, He
Raised me and made me live

My soul magnifies the Lord
My heart joys in God my Saviour
For He lifts the lowly
And He's done great things for me
I will sing, praising evermore
He is mighty, and holy is His name

I will lift my head up high
Praising Jesus through each trial
Though I have not seen Him
I love Him completely
