As long as the earth continues, there will always be a time for planting and a time for harvest. There will always be cold and hot, summer and winter, day and night on earth.”
The Lord says:\par “The Lord makes the sun shine in the day.\par And the Lord makes the moon and the stars shine at night.\par The Lord stirs up the sea so that its waves\par crash on the shore.\par The Lord All-Powerful is his name.”\par
The people of Judah never say to themselves,\par ‘Let’s fear and respect the Lord our God.\par He gives us autumn and spring rains\par at just the right time.\par He makes sure that we have the harvest\par at just the right time.’\par
Brothers and sisters, be patient; the Lord \{Jesus\} will come. So be patient until that time. Farmers are patient. A farmer waits for his valuable crop to grow up from the earth. A farmer waits patiently for his crop to receive the first rain and the last rain. {\cf2\super [26]}
