SCRIPTURE: Matt 9:37-38He said to His disciples, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord Who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields."
OBSERVATION:Jesus was speaking to believers. To men he had chosen to do His work. Today, it would be you and me - pastors and leaders. What He's telling us is that we need more of US to do His work. We should be praying that God will send more people like us to lead the lost to Him. Yet, I meet with pastors all the time who are reluctant to partner with other local churches. Many of them view other churches as threats to their own success. It's sad, but it's real.
APPLICATION:Today, when I pray for more people to work the fields, I will also pray for the pastors who feel threatened by them.
PRAYER:Father, you are so great and awesome! I am honored that You would call me to help bring more people to know You. May I never take that task lightly. I also ask that You give me the right words to say to the many pastors I encounter and help them begin seeing other pastors as allies. My prayer is that we can all work together as one to do what You have called us to do; work the fields and bring more people to You! I love You, God. I can't imagine my life without You in the driver's seat. Thank you for the many blessings in my life. I am so unworthy and yet so grateful. Amen.
