Thursday - The Call to Harvest

Matthew 9:37-38 - "Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few. 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."
Isaiah 6:8 - "Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
Here in Iowa, we know a thing or two about fields! Even if you don’t know a great deal about agriculture, at the very least you recognize the vastness of a field. In these verses, notice that the problem Jesus poses is not that the fields are too big, but that the laborers are too few! Jesus did not complain that the work is too difficult, the field is too big, or that the conditions of the field were too strenuous. He simply called for more laborers.
Today, the field is a picture of the spiritual work that must be done on earth! Souls need the gospel! Lives need changed! People need the Lord! It is not the work that is the issue, but that the laborers are few! Lord, may many more of us stand as Isaiah did and say, “Here am I Lord, send me!”
Have you given your spiritual occupation to God? Are you doing your part in the harvest today? The fields are ready for harvest it is our job to answer the call.
