This picture was made last year while we were in South Carolina, while I was preaching a Revival there. Wheat fields, ready for harvest! Do notice the wheat that is the fullest, the most ripe for harvest, is “drooping,” heads heavy with beneficial grain!

They tell me when the wheat is not as fruitful, those heads are still “high in the air!”

Today’s Bible Lesson …

When our children were young, I occasionally read to them from a little Book, a series of Books really, about some colorful make-believe animal characters. One of them was named “lowly” the worm! He was the most humble of the lot, hence his name!

Now here is our Bible verse for this Monday in November … “Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the LOWLY: but the PROUD he knoweth afar off.” Psalm 138:6

See if the following verse represents a meek people, or vainly proud. “Thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.” Revelation 3:17, the Church at Laodicea, unbroken for sure!

Psalm 9:12 promises of the Lord: “He forgetteth not the cry of the HUMBLE.”

And do remember … “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18

Jesus, the Greatest Fruit-Bearer to ever grace planet earth, preached one day … “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am MEEK and LOWLY in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Lessons from nature!

From creation!

From a wheat field!

For the Fruit of the Spirit is … “Meekness!”

Amen.
