Matthew 9:37-38 NIV - 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 his harvest field.” Keep Reading...
Someday I would love to go on a missions trip. Someday I would love to be able to give lots of money away to help those who are impoverished. Someday I would really like to share the Gospel with my co-worker. Someday... But for now, I've got a lot of things on… family pressures, work deadlines, church meetings… Sound familiar? We tend to respond to the things we believe are most urgent. What was most urgent to Jesus? The plight of the lost. In fact, that is why Jesus came - "to seek and save what was lost (Luke 19:10). Jesus felt deep compassion for the harassed and helpless crowds. And his compassion called him into urgent action. Jesus called his disciples to pray for more harvesters… more people who would take action on behalf of the lost and hurting. It wasn't time to procrastinate. More people were needed to take action. Indeed, the heart of Jesus still beats for the lost. Does yours? He tells us that people are waiting to be gathered into the kingdom. But, who will go tell them? Who will go get them? We don't have a minute to waste. Reorganize today's priorities around what Jesus says is urgent - the salvation of the lost. It's time to take action.

Every minute of our lives is precious, so we should always make sure to use it efficiently to the things that really matter. Enough with the things that do not matter because that should never count at all! Focus on yourself and your loved ones because that could be the rightest thing to do. If it's time to harvest, please make sure to maximize it by doing great because that is simply what keeps our lives a greater one.
