Shav'uot, an amazing feast that Israel has been celebrating for thousands of years as the harvest festival. But the Jewish people haven't had any harvest; they've been scattered from the land that was a wasteland. There was no harvest, yet they celebrated it. After 2,000 years, God brought them back to their land. They planted fields; the land blossomed; the harvest does exist. Most nations celebrate harvests after they happen. Israel celebrates them before. Learn this profound secret of abundant life. Don't wait to see your harvest, your blessing, before you celebrate. Celebrate before you see it. Give thanks before you see the blessing in God, and you will see the blessing. Celebrate the victory before you triumph, and you will have a victory to celebrate. Rejoice now over the blessing you don't see, and you will see it. Celebrate when you have no reason except God, and you will have more than enough reason afterwards. Don't wait for everything to be right. Rejoice now and it will be all right. Don't wait for that harvest to have your harvest festival. Have your harvest festival now, and you will have your harvest sure enough.
From Message #699 - The Dream Harvest
Practice celebrating before you see, rejoicing before you know, and living in victory before you have it.
