Luke 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."
Here is a call to pray that is just as much needed today as it was when Jesus gave it. He had just selected a group of seventy-two individuals to go out before him into the towns and villages he was planning to visit. Jesus wanted this group to realize that they were heading into God's harvest field AND that harvest was too huge for them alone!
Wow! That's an encouragement. Although it might seem that God is doing little in our world today, we can take heart that God is NOT done with his harvest. There are still more souls to be won to Christ! We need to pray that God would raise up more who are willing to go into the world to do God's work. And like any prayer, we must realize that we can (and should) be part of the answer to this prayer. Remember ... the mission field is not simply lands that are far away spiritually dark places. The mission field is all around us! Let's respond as Isaiah the prophet responded when God asked, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Isaiah replied, "Here I am, send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)
