There are plenty of people needing to hear the Word of God but it seems like more people than not make excuses of why not to share the truth instead of looking around to find someone who might be eager to listen to the Gospel, the Good News of the Lord Jesus. God desires to use His children in one way or another, or maybe in many aspects, if we would only let down our pride, remove our doubt, and realize that there are lost and broken people all around us that need to hear the truth before it’s too late. It is written in *Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”* I question myself as well as ask that all who read these words to question yourselves as well. Have we truly been faithful to till the ground, stir up the soil, and prepare for planting the seed? Are we using what God has given us wisely and carefully, regarding our testimony, and genuinely living out our Christian walk in a way that is glorifying God, or are we living like the rest of the world? Do we plant seeds and lay the foundation of faith, or hide in the shadows not wanting to be inconvenienced? Do we nurture, feed, water, and take care of what and where the seed was planted, or do we deprive the soil of what it needs by our selfishness and lack of concern? Are you prepared to lead someone to Christ or are you comfortable to let them find their way to hell on their own? We need to remember what is written in *Psalms 126:5 They who sow in tears shall reap with joyful singing. 6 He who goes back and forth weeping, carrying his bag of seed [for planting], Will indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.* To be a faithful Christians, we must be sowing the seed of the Word of God, no matter how difficult it may be. Jesus is coming back soon, we must put our Father’s business above our own. Please pray for me as I will be doing a memorial service and trying to plant some seeds today, In Christ, Douglas. pastord.blog
