5 Minutes a day / 5 Days a week

with God

John 4:35

"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!

It's pretty early in the morning when I leave for work. So early that it's still dark out even by the time I get to work.
As I was driving on the freeway on my way to work the other morning, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw all these cars about a half a mile behind me. All I could see were a bunch of white headlights shining in the darkness. When I saw this, I thought of today's devotional verse.
You see when the disciple looked up they saw all these white turbans approaching them and Jesus used this as an illustration for today's verse.

Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

I have always heard this, but could never truly understand it until I saw all those white headlights behind me.
As I did, I realized that many of them probably do not know the Lord. So I prayed for them all and their salvation.
It may not take a bunch of headlights coming at you to realize how many are going to hell without Jesus. Nevertheless, you can look around at your workplace, in your school, in your family, in your circle of friends and realize that some of them may not go to heaven unless you pray for them and share Jesus with them.

Maybe you have prayed and even shared Jesus with them, kind of like planting or watering a seed in the field.

1 Cor 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.

Then the next thing to do is:

Matt 9:37-38 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."

Once you start praying for God to send out the laborers, you may just be praying for the very person that God will use to save your friend, family member, co-worker, or loved one.
