Plenty Of Work - Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)

Scripture of the Day
Matthew 9:36-38 (NIV)
"Plenty Of Work"

When HE saw the crowds, HE had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  Then HE said to HIS disciples, "The harvest is plenty but the workers are few.  Ask the LORD of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into HIS harvest field."

------------------------------------------------

As JESUS looked out into the crowd, HE saw those who were harassed and helpless.  HE saw a flock of sheep without a shepherd.  JESUS was looking at the harvest of souls that would need to be nurtured, healed, and encouraged!  Then HE told HIS disciples that there is more harvest than workers!  Through spiritual eyes JESUS saw there was plenty of work to be done! 

We all have plenty of work to do in our day!  Our homes, jobs, community service, etc.  How much of that work is being  done through spiritual eyes?  How much of our work is being done to nurture, heal and encourage the harvest of souls that are lost without a shepherd?  We can't think that what we do inside the four walls of a church building is enough work for the kingdom!  There is plenty of work . . . right where you are standing now . . . just look around with the same heart (spiritual eyes) like JESUS. 

Just remember, there is plenty of work for the kingdom, but it is by salvation that you are saved!
