I help run a group each week,it is rewarding and hard work,putting out tables and chairs, and generally keeping things ticking over.Some of the clients who attend do help,with the washing up,and clearing,but most of them liked to be served rather than serve.Recently one of the clients who helps ,became upset because he felt many were not helping,I had to speak to him and try to help him not to take it to heart. The words of our Saviour came to mind in Matthew 9 v37-38./ The harvest truly is plenteous,but the labours are few;pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,that he will send forth labourers into the harvest/.
In the west it does not appear to be harvesting time,but in many other places there is harvest of precious souls,waiting for those who will gather them in. God asks the question,whom shall I send?,who indeed ,do you feel God call upon your life to say here am I ,send me?.
Our Saviour tells us what we need to do,pray that the Lord of the harvest,the one who is in charge of recruitment,will send forth those of His choosing,to the work and place of His choosing.
So let us obey our Saviour and pray to that end,and leave the results to him,but of course we may be the answer to our own prayers.
A prayer.
Dear God we pray that you will send forth labourers ,to harvest precious souls ,into Your kingdom,in Jesus name Amen.
