“Behold, the days are coming,” says The LORD, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine,And all the hills shall flow with it.” Amos 9:13.

As I read this I get pictures of the vineyard.

I see those planting the seeds being watched by those who tread the grapes.

I see the plowman being watched by the harvesting team.

I see the harvest team working while being watched by the plowman.

I see those who tend the vine through the growing season watched by those waiting to plant next seasons seed.

God always gives us glimpses of His power before He manifestly demonstrates that power.

This is a Word from Scripture that gives us a glimpse of coming days.

Just think of the plowman starting to prepare the field before the reapers have finished reaping!

Or the people treading grapes waiting for the seed to be sown — that’s real expectation!

I find that so exciting — I don’t know about you, but that excites me.

Yet The LORD is saying to expect Him to move in just such power that even as we reap, so others will be replowing the ground, and even as we sow seeds, others will be waiting impatiently for the harvest to be brought in.

We see glimpses of this daily. They are the appetisers for the coming feast.

We see a few coming to Jesus — we shall see hundreds, even thousands.

We see a few healed — we shall see mass healings on a scale never seen before.

The days of “greater things” are upon us!

“Don’t set your expectations too low,” says The LORD,

“Expect little and you will reap little. Expect much and the harvest you reap will be great.

It will exceed all your expectations. Set your faith on ‘high’, and I will do the rest!”

This is God’s promise for us today.
