In verses 37 and 38 Jesus is talking to His disciples and says, “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.”” My immediate interpretation is that Jesus is calling us to be willing to harvest. While this is very true, today I noticed the word “workers”, as in, this is hard work. If you’ve ever worked on a farm you know harvesting is hard work. The thing to remember is that it’s not just brainless work; it is well planned and well executed. I’m not trying to say we need to develop a plan and go execute, what I’m saying is that God’s plan is perfect. We need to go about understanding that He is the important equation in this plan and we need to be willing to go about following Him and be willing to do the hard work of executing it. Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy. But in this case, there is nothing more rewarding!
