“Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.'” Jesus (Matthew 9:37) Are you a busy person? Just about everyone looks busy to me, but I often wonder what they’re so busy doing. What are their lives all about? What is keeping them so occupied? There are generally only a few things that motivate people to be busy; the Lord’s work is one, but much more popular are wealth, power and prestige. When Jesus spoke the words, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few,” no doubt His disciples understood he was talking about the vast crowds that followed Him but really didn’t know Him, as well as the hordes of people who couldn’t have cared less who He was. What troubles me is not that there are still hordes of people who couldn’t care less who He is, but that many who say they know Him and love Him are actually more interested in chasing wealth, power and prestige with the lost than they are in leading the lost to Christ. So…. are you a busy person? It’s fine to be busy, and even to be busy at work that has nothing to do with the Kingdom of God. But what is it that really drives you? If it’s not the Lord’s work, then who’s work is it? “He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.” Proverbs 10:6 In Christ, PastorJimKilby @Kilbin8er Jim@JamesKilby.com
