SCRIPTURE: Luke (NIV) 10:1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you…
OBSERVATION: When God’s people gather to pray, often people are given opportunity to make a “prayer request.” So many times, those requests are for God to heal a sick relative or friend. Even personal requests usually are for healing. If we would stop and ask Jesus what he would have us pray about, His answer surely would be like verse 2 above.
APPLICATION: Jesus suffered such great agony in order to make salvation available to anyone who calls on His name—how many people does He want to come into loving relationship with Him? —how many people does He want to present to the Father?
We are the ones who should be praying about the harvest. We are the ones He is sending. Every day we are walking in the harvest field as we go through our regular daily activities.
Let us always have someone in our thoughts for whom we are praying for their salvation. The next time we are in a prayer meeting, let us honor the Lord by praying for His request.
Then we should not be surprised if He uses us to be a part of the answer to that prayer!
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, your Son, Jesus, told us to pray for people who will work in your great harvest field. We pray for those who have taken SOAPs into the streets as a tool for evangelism. Bless them. We pray for those who took Jesus as their Savior and committed their lives to you. Help them grow in their faith. We pray for you to use us in answer to your prayer request. Amen
