The Threshing Floor Original

The threshing floor is a powerful reminder of God's intimate work in our lives, a place where He meets us in the rawness of our humanity. It is a place of separation, where the unnecessary, painful, and broken parts of us are sifted away, leaving only what is pure and valuable, waiting to be refined. On the threshing floor, God lovingly rebuilds us through seasons of trial and surrender. Just as Ruth humbly approached Boaz on the threshing floor, we too come to God with nothing but our need, trusting in His power as the ultimate Kinsman Redeemer. It is here that we encounter His presence in ways that transform us, where the crushing gives way to the beauty of restoration and purpose.

But the threshing floor is also a place of profound hope, where the ashes of judgment are exchanged for the joy of blessing. It is here that God not only separates the wheat from the chaff but also prepares us for a greater calling. In the time of David, the threshing floor became the foundation for the temple, turning a site of repentance into a dwelling place for God's glory. This prophetic truth speaks to the heart of every believer: that our most broken, vulnerable moments can become the groundwork for something holy and everlasting. The threshing floor reminds us that even in the stripping away, God is writing a story of redemption, inviting us to trust His steady hand as He makes room for all things new.

As we step into the New Year, I am stepping onto the threshing floor. I can feel it. 🌾
