Track 9: Harvest of the Earth – Devotional
The Final Reaping
Opening Scripture:
Revelation 14:15 – “And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, ‘Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.'”
Reflection:
Revelation 14 presents the dual imagery of harvest, symbolizing both the gathering of the righteous into God’s kingdom and the judgment upon the wicked. This vivid picture reminds us of the inevitable culmination of history and God’s sovereignty over the final judgment.
Devotional:
As you listen to “Harvest of the Earth,” reflect on the significance of being part of the final harvest. The imagery of reaping is a powerful reminder of the consequences of our choices and the importance of living a life aligned with God’s will. Consider your own spiritual journey – are you growing and producing fruit that reflects your faith in Christ?
The track also invites contemplation of the justice and mercy of God. In His mercy, God provides ample opportunity for repentance and growth, but there also comes a time of final reckoning. Reflect on how this truth affects your sense of urgency in sharing the Gospel and living out your faith.
Consider the hope that comes with the harvest for those who are in Christ. While the idea of judgment can be sobering, for the faithful it promises eternal peace and joy in the presence of God. How does this hope influence your perspective on the trials and tribulations of life?
Prayer:
Lord of the Harvest, I come before You reflecting on the gravity and hope of the final reaping. Help me to live a life that bears good fruit, one that is ready for the harvest. Instill in me a sense of urgency and purpose to share Your love and truth with others. I trust in Your justice and mercy, and I look forward to the day when I will stand before You, redeemed and restored. May my life honor You as I await the final harvest. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Contemplation:
Take a few moments to meditate on your role in the harvest. Are you actively growing in your faith and helping to sow seeds of the Gospel in others’ lives? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any areas where you can be more fruitful and to empower you with boldness and love in your witness.

Lyrics
Harvest of the Earth
Verse 1
Behold, a Lamb on Mount Zion stands,
With Him, the faithful, no lie in their hands.
A new song they sing, none else can learn,
Firstfruits to God, for Him, they yearn.
Chorus
Harvest of the earth, ripe and ready,
Some for the granary, others for the winepress heavy.
Justice and mercy in the balance,
God’s sovereignty, our assurance.
Verse 2
An angel flies, mid-heaven, with the eternal gospel,
To every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.
“Fear God, give glory, for His hour has come,”
Worship Him who made all, the Holy One.
Chorus
Harvest of the earth, ripe and ready,
Some for the granary, others for the winepress heavy.
Justice and mercy in the balance,
God’s sovereignty, our assurance.
Bridge
Another angel follows, saying, “Babylon is fallen,”
A third warns against the beast, its image, and its calling.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on,”
Rest from their labors; their deeds follow them on.
Verse 3
Then comes the Son of Man, with a crown and sharp sickle,
Another angel from the temple, with a loud voice, does trickle.
“Thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come,”
Earth’s harvest is gathered, the end of the sum.
Chorus
Harvest of the earth, ripe and ready,
Some for the granary, others for the winepress heavy.
Justice and mercy in the balance,
God’s sovereignty, our assurance.
Outro
So let us be steadfast, immovable, always abounding,
In the Lord’s work, our calling resounding.
For in the Lord, our labor is not in vain,
Harvest of the earth, in His glorious name.
