Workers in God's Field

Marsha’s meditation on Workers in God’s Field

Scripture:

When He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into the harvest field.” Matthew 9:36-37

Meditation:

Sheep without a shepherd, that was us before we accepted Jesus into our hearts. He harvested us when our hearts were ready to receive Him. Someone, a worker in God’s harvest field, shared the good news with us. Jesus hasn’t changed, He still has compassion on those who are harassed and helpless and He’s still telling us, His disciples, to ask the Lord of the harvest to send more workers. That would be us too.

Prayer:

Dear sweet, compassionate Jesus, we are so grateful for each and every worker in Your harvest field. Thank You for sending workers into our lives at just the right time. Today we ask You, as Lord of the harvest, to accept each one of us as workers. We are ready and willing to go into the harvest fields. Send us where You know the harvest is ready. Amen
