Amos 9:13
Amos 9:13
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper.
This parable invites us to exercise patience, knowing that both good and bad will grow together until the proper time for judgment. In this verse, the growth of both weeds and wheat is allowed to continue until the harvest, at which time the weeds will be gathered and discarded. This illustrates the patience required in life—whether in personal growth or weight loss—where we must allow time for the good and bad to reveal themselves. The process may be slow, and we may encounter setbacks or challenges, but God promises that in due time, everything will be sorted out. Let this verse inspire us to remain patient in our health journeys, trusting that God will handle the results. We are called to focus on the good seeds in our lives, cultivating health, discipline, and righteousness, while God takes care of the weeds, removing them at the right time. Through this, we find peace in His control.
Jeremiah 12:13
They have sown wheat but will reap thorns; they have put themselves to pain but will gain nothing.
Matthew 13:28
He said to them, 'An enemy did this.' The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
Haggai 1:6
You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have.
Matthew 13:30
Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds.
