"Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” -- Matthew 9:37-38

Jobs have been fewer and fewer over the last three years. The number of workers has surpassed the opportunities to work. The growing need is new jobs to fill the void of unemployment. But, there is just not enough work to go around. This is a time when workers are plentiful and jobs are few.

Times change and days of plenty may often be followed by days of little. But, as Jesus spoke of a plentiful harvest of souls in his day, the harvest has only grown over the years. As the need for laborers was great in his time, the need is greater today than ever. No matter how few jobs there may be these days, the harvest is still plentiful and the workers are few.

Is your schedule packed with more work than you can handle? Or are you sitting there not sure what the day will bring? No matter what your circumstance, the harvest of souls continues to grow and the Lord seeks laborers. Will you take the time to join in the work of harvest? Don't ever think that you aren't needed, because to this very day, the workers are few.
