I believe we can all agree that God wants us all to be involved somehow in the harvest. The Harvest Field isn’t just for an enthusiastic few; it should be every Christian’s concern.

A great harvest, he says, not enough workers . . . “Therefore” . . . . Therefore, what? Therefore go? Therefore preach? Therefore give? No, he doesn’t say any of those things. Jesus says,

“Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”
Matthew 9:38

If we sincerely pray for workers for the harvest, all the other things that need to be done will follow. You can’t pray honestly for anything without also being willing to do more than pray, without offering yourself as part of the answer to your prayer. You can’t say, “Lord, raise up laborers but not me, and especially not my kids. I want them to make a good living and stay close to home.” That’s not real praying, is it?

Pray earnestly!!

Celebrate the Lord of the Harvest!
