Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States for Sunday, 2 July 2017 "Harvest Workers" Bible Reading: Matthew 9:35-38
Matthew 9:35 Yeshua went about all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and weakness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his talmidim, “The harvest is rich, but the workers are few. 38 Pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out workers to gather in his harvest.”-------
It is awesome to look at a field of grain that is ripe and ready to harvest. Years ago, a field would be filled with workers harvesting the grain by hand. Today farmers use large modern machinery to gather the grain.
In our Bible verses, Jesus talked about "a big harvest of people to bring in" (verse 37b). What was Jesus talking about? He was talking about people in the world who need to learn about Jesus and follow Him.
Who are the workers in the harvest? We are the workers who should tell other people about Jesus. We have a big job to do. There are many people in the world who do not know about God's wonderful gift of salvation.
You can go to a foreign mission field to find people who need to know about Jesus. Or you can share with people you meet today - your co-workers, people you meet in the grocery store or people in your neighborhood. God can use you to be a good worker in His harvest.
"God owns the harvest. Ask him to send more workers to help gather the harvest." [Matthew 9:38]
PRAYER: God, there are so many people who don't know You. Use me today to share the Good News about Jesus. In His name. Amen.
