A Daily Devotion for Friday, March 4

Matthew 9: 36-38

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 plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

We are invited to be part of the process of spreading the good news. Not only are we workers ourselves, but Jesus directed his disciples to ask God for more workers. I had not noticed this part of the verse before. May I be bolder, may I listen to the Holy Spirit within me, and may I be a worker who finds and calls other workers to help with the harvest- this I pray to you, Father God. Amen
