Good morning, happy Saturday,
“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’”
(Matthew 9:37-38).
Salvation is of Lord. It takes the Holy Spirit to work in the hearts of the unsaved to convict them of their sin and their need of the Savior. Our part is to share the gospel with the lost and let God germinate the seed and bring about salvation. Laborers are sorely needed in the Lord’s harvest field for there are many sinners needing to be saved, for as Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.”
There are two ways we can help: pray for God to burden the hearts of the laborers, and that God will send out more laborers. We can also become and more involved in the harvest ourselves. Paul wrote in Romans 10:14–15, “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’”
All of us should be involved in sharing the good news and praying for souls to be saved. It is a burden on the heart of our Savior and should be a burden on our’s as well. We are in the last days and many are still unsaved! There is a big need! Jesus has compassion on people and sees them as sheep without a shepherd. He is the Good Shepherd, the Great Shepherd, and the Chief Shepherd. He uses us to be part of His harvest.
The hymn writer Kittie Louise Suffield wrote, “In the harvest field now ripened, there’s a work for all to do; Hark, the voice of God is calling, to the harvest calling you. Little is much when God is in it, labor not for wealth or fame; there’s a crown and you can win it, if you go in Jesus’ name.” May the Lord help us to sow and reap, and be workers together with Him and one another!
Have a blessed day in the harvest field. Stay safe and healthy.
In The Master’s work,
Dean
