"Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together."
John 4:32-36
People all over the world are ready to hear and receive God's word, to accept salvation. They only need the chance to do so. "But how will they believe unless someone tells them? And how will we tell them when we're never sent?!!" (Mandy Mapes, "We will go!")
"He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."Luke 10:2
So many people are praying that God would send out workers into the harvest but they fail to realize that we are the very workers we've been praying for. How does a field get harvested if the workers keep asking the farmer if they can harvest, yet they do nothing? We are doing nothing to harvest in the kingdom yet we keep asking God to "send forth" workers. Each one of us has already been commissioned for God's work, we've each been sent forth in one way or another. Some far away and others right within their immediate means. It is time that we as workers in the harvest arise and set forth into the fields around us. Every minute people are dying, many without the hope of Christ. We are the beacon of light in this world and it is time we share that light with the lost, the hopeless and the hurting. A light that is hidden cannot shine, so the Truth untold cannot save. It is time to let the light shine. It is time to harvest.
"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
"For the glory of God!"
To go where He sends us to work and to live the life He calls us to live. Before a believer can trully go out and bear fruit that will last I believe that the person's heart has to be fully given over to the Lord.God has to do a work in his heart so that he will not bring disgrace to the name of Christ, then he will be the worker that the Lord wants him to be. My prayer is Lord do the work in me that needs to be done so that I may do the work that you have called me to do. May the Lord's Spirit rest deeply in your heart Shelbie. Oh yea have a blessed Saturday day with the young boys as you have devotion and play games with them.
