“Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” (Matthew 9:38)
Now, some of you are thinking, Thank goodness! I’m off the hook! I just have to pray about it! I don’t have to get involved, serve, and take part in the harvest. I’ll just pray! Does Jesus let us off so lightly? Not really. Jesus knows that when we begin to pray for harvesters, the scales will be removed from our eyes. He begins to reveal the world He sees. Then we’ll begin to see the people around us as He sees them. The Holy Spirit then convicts us to love them and pray for them to come to know Him. Over time God may use us to be the harvesters.
So when you begin to pray for the harvest, beware! God will open your eyes, and you’ll be conscious of the needs all around you. He’ll transform your heart into the heart of a harvester.
