Day 31 Plentiful Harvest and Few Workers
After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two others, and he sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself was about to go. He told them, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” LUKE 10:1–2, CSB
There is not a shortage of lost people in the world. The harvest of individuals and communities who need the good news is vast, but the workers who are willing to go and proclaim the gospel message are few. As a result, we are commanded by Jesus to pray for workers to go into the harvest. In the midst of praying for workers, do not be surprised if God makes you one of them. We all have a responsibility in fulfilling the Great Commission, and we are not called to do it alone. Christ sent out 72 other disciples in pairs to complete the ministry work He gave them to do.
As you share the truth of the gospel, take another believer with you to labor alongside. Share your victories, trials and God’s provision with one another, and pray God would continue to raise up other laborers to go into the harvest.
