This time of year, as we approach Thanksgiving, draws pictures of fields ready to be harvested. May we use this time to remember, that each one of us are also called to be laborers, laborers in HIS harvest.
"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." (Matthew 9:37-38)
This harvest is all around us, no matter our circumstances nor our location. So often I find myself looking for a different harvest, I find myself trying to manipulate my circumstances into what I want them to be. I say, "Lord, I don't want to harvest this crop in this field, I want to harvest that crop in that field." I do this because I'm overwhelmed, or bored, or because the other 'harvest' looks more exciting, more rewarding, or easier.
And my Lord is good, He allows me to try. And He is just, He allows me to fail. And He is merciful, He allows me to come back to Him, committed once again to do things His way, the best way, the only way. God has created us as laborers for such a time as this, for such a harvest as this. May we seek His face, His glory, and His honor in all that we do as we continuously submit to His ways and His beautiful plan for our lives.
I love my Father, for His grace, His mercy, His joy, His beauty, and His love undeniable.
