Prayer, Sowing, Multiplying, Harvest
Have you ever read the Bible desperately? As in you were in some.distress and were looking for wiadom and guidance? When I went to India with Jessie, I mentioned that it was like the first 8 chapters of Mark… can you imagine the people’s lives in Mark if Jesus had not shown up? But that is neither here nor there.
I was texting Chad Brooks this morning… something struck me in Matthew 9. “The harvest is great but the laborers are few. Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into His harvest field.” i mentioned to Chad that this passage of Scripture, which has been so important to me, suddenly had a new power: why is the harvest great? Because of the sowing of the Word of God. It has multiplied! The passage also contains the image of the threshing floor, where all is revealed: is the harvest great? Will there be rejoicing or fears of a lean winter? God is working for an abundant harvest. I want to help bring it in.
