We are kicked back today enjoying life. The weekend was packed with prepartion, preaching and teaching. What a delight to have the priviledge of preaching. The Message was from Matthew 9:36-38. What an exciting scripture to preach! As I studied the text I could see Jesus moving through the streets of Palestine, doing all he could do to poise mankind for the salvation that he has to offer. Jesus calls us to fields, and the fields are in our towns and neighborhoods. He wants us to listen for people crying out with wounds that this world has given them. I am impressed that he calls us to the harvest. Harvesting is not easy work. I contemplated all the different fruits and vegetables that I know about and how to get them in from the field by hand. None of them are easy to bring in. I have never picked cotton, but I have dug for potatoes, picked strawberries and tomatoes. Dad had many other vegtables in our garden while I was growing up too many to mention. The fields Jesus says are ready for the Harvest. . . invest some energy into your neighborhood, your children's friends parents and those you work with and see what God allows to happen in your life. I do not know what opportunity is next for us but my eyes are open and I am ready to charge forward and start the Harvest Cycle.
Go Make a Difference Today for God
