Lord of the harvest

Matthew 9:37-38
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Jesus told His disciples (and us) to pray -- not for the harvest -- but for the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into the harvest, which is abundant!

Praying that God would send His workers to the harvest.

Truths:
1) The harvest is abundant.
2) The workers are few.
3) We are to pray for God to send workers.

If Jesus tells us to ask God to send workers, then God must be ready to answer that prayer. Let's spend more time on our knees asking God to send workers and let's never forget the words of Isaiah 6:8
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me.
