God Still Speaks

34Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. 35Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest. 36The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! 37You know the saying, `One person plants and someone else harvests.' And it's true. 38I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and you will gather the harvest."

True fulfillment comes from doing and being in Gods will. Jesus was dedicated to doing His fathers will and to accomplish the work that He was sent to do. Each of us can do the same, find out what God's will for our lives is and work untill that job is complete. He then focuses on the harvest. He just finished ministering to the Samaritan woman and through her He reached her village and many beleived. We love to procrastinate when it comes to working in the harvest. Jesus here is telling us not to put winning souls and bringing in the harvest off into the future but to get out hands dirty now reaching out to people. It's the will of God for every Christian to work in the harvest field. To many of us want to be supervisors and stay in the airconditioned church buildings. Harvesters (people that win souls) recieve wages. God pays good! He is not cheap when it comes to paying his people for working in His harvest fields. Again there is no greater joy and fulfillment than to win a person to Christ. Nothing else compares to it. The harvest is ripe and we will reap souls where others have sown. Now is the time to bring in the harvest. I must lay aside every thing that wants to hinder me from winning souls and making disciples for Jesus.
