Early in the year a farmer plans his crops
And labors that his fields might be prepared.
When the time is right he plants his seeds.
Careful preparation shows he cared.
But then he is dependent on the Lord
And patiently must wait to see results.
When he sees fruition of work,
In the Lord he glories and exults.
When he's labored long and labored hard
The waiting time that follows is a test.
He must practice patience and endure,
Knowing in His time he will be blessed.
"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."
James 1:4 KJV
