Harvest Time
One day Billy Graham told Bobby Conner, “Son, I was reared on a farm, and one thing I have learned about harvest time is that it is short. Never forget: harvest time is a short time. ‘Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest?’ Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest.’” (John 4:35)
Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Then Jesus went to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness. When He saw the crowds, He felt compassion for them, because they were weary and worn out, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
