Thanksgiving at all times, especially during harvests, is a good practice because the earth is the Lord’s, and everything that fills it and grows out of it belongs to Him.
You can only do as much as you can and even receive support from people and other artificial means, but it is only God who can hold and release the rain, the wind, the sun, and every weather condition in your favour and in favour of your investments.
That is why, despite all his toiling and labouring, Apostle Paul wisely said, “I planted, and Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.” In other words, there was a mystery beyond them, and God was the One behind it all.
These and many more reasons revealed in the following short Bible verses on harvest thanksgiving are why you should remain glad in heart and continually show gratitude to God at the turn of every harvest.
