Predictable Circumstances

“Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the laborers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.” Luke 10

As one steps out for Jesus there are specifics that are guaranteed. First there will always be a harvest. While living in the Salinas valley this past year I noted that the farmers always seemed to have a crop ready. Actually I understand the Salinas valley provides a large portion of our nations greens. Corporations that have learned to maximize the value of the soil, the sun and water, oversee the farms.
Since the fall of Adam & Eve into sin there has always been a need for salvation. Satan has been tireless in leading the world into sin. Thus the ever increasing need for a harvest of souls. When the seed of God’s word goes forth(Luke 8)the harvest will follow.
But Jesus says the challenge (the second certain condition) is the lack of laborers. In fact He tells the disciples that they (laborers) are few. In Isaiah the prophet asks the familiar question, “who will go”? As disciples of Jesus we ought to ask our selves if we are among that elite group. Whether the answer is yes or no we can all take the next step and pray to the Lord of the harvest.
We may not be able or called to go to Africa. We may not even have the opportunity or the ability to go to the lost multitudes in our own country. But whatever the circumstances are we can always pray. “Pray ye the Lord of the harvest”. Thus the third assured circumstance is that there will always be a need for prayer.
Today do you see the harvest? Are you willing to labor in the harvest? And finally, are you willing to pray? If our answer is yes the fruit will be on the way.
