Developing A Harvest Plan
Have you ever thought about developing a harvest plan? Jesus tells us in Matthew 9:37 that the harvest is abundant. He did not say it was little, small, or lacking. Within the context of teaching, preaching the good news, and healing, Jesus declares this truth to his disciples. His compassionate heart led him to see all people as sheep without a shepherd. His compassion leads us to see harvest potential wherever we live.
Lisa and I, and the kids have arrived to the USA for a year to find not a land filled with righteousness, but a land in need of harvesting. We will have the blessing of living in a mission home provided by one of our Southern Baptist churches in North Carolina. There on the same lot of where will be living is a trailer park with a good number of Spanish-speaking immigrants. Already we are praying how we will share the gospel and start a bible study with these families.
I use this as an example to say to you this day: The harvest is abundant! We do not have to doubt that truth of Christ! We only have to do one thing; pray for the Lord of the Harvest, the owner of the harvest, God our Father, to call out, raise up, and send out more workers into the fields of harvest. I have been home for two days and the Lord is showing me two harvest fields waiting for workers. More on the second one later. Where is your harvest today? Will you pray for God to show you? Will you pray for the Lord to send forth workers into your harvest? Let me warn you, if you pray this way, be prepared. The first worker may be you!
Blessings this day!
