Laborers

Laborers

“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.” Do you ever feel like there are so many needs in the world, and that you can do so little about them? I feel that way at times. But I think Jesus anticipated this internal dilemma we often experience. His exhortation, when we feel so incapable of effecting meaningful change in our world for the glory of God, is to simply begin with prayer. He encourages us to ask Him to send people who will work in the harvest fields. What I have noticed after many years of prayer meetings is that, as we do, He often makes us those very people. Friends, that’s something to pray about!
