TOPIC: The Harvest Is Here
BIBLE TEXT - These were [Jesus’]instructions to them: “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for his fields. Go now.” - Luke 10:2-3
Jesus selected seventy of his disciples and sent them out in pairs in order to strengthen their witness and give them fellowship as they traveled. He gave them specific instructions—travel light, take no extra baggage, and be cautious because they were embarking on dangerous work—like lambs evangelizing among wolves; their preaching mission was urgent, so they were to make haste and focus on spreading the good news of the kingdom, healing the sick, and delivering the oppressed. Jesus also urged them to pray for more workers, for the harvest was great.
Those instructions still apply to us today. God doesn’t want anyone to perish; he wants all to hear the gospel and have eternal life. All over the world, fields are white for harvest. There are still many unreached people groups who need to hear the Good News. There are villages where children and parents and the elderly have never known a savior. So in the midst of whatever ministry or work we are doing, we are to pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out more laborers for his fields.
PRAYER
LORD, raise up and send out laborers to every tribe and nation, every people group, and every unreached child. Raise up missionaries, doctors, teachers, businessmen and women, Bible translators, and musicians to share the goodness of Jesus Christ and to bring in a harvest of souls. Help me to see that the harvest is right before my eyes. Come, Lord Jesus, your harvest awaits!
INSIGHT
Thine is the seed time. God alone Beholds the end of what is sown; Beyond our vision weak and dim The Harvest time is hid with him.
