Day TwentyFive - Psalm 126

:5-6 "Those who plant in tears, will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest."

Waiting... ugh... who likes to wait, especially after something bad happens and you're waiting for something good? These verses maintain that if we plant our harvest with tears, we will reap it with joy. But it clearly doesn't say how long the planting will last, but thankfully it does say that we will HARVEST. It doesn't say it'll be easy and it surely doesn't mention it being a fun time. But we can rest in the promise that if we plant, we will harvest. And it's up to us to plant and wait, for there is always a harvest after seeds have been laid.
