The fields that line GA Hwy 113 are incredible. A couple of months back after the corn that was growing was harvested, the farmers sowed cotton. Now they are painted white. Whenever I pass these mesmerizingly beautiful fields I think of two things. First, there's a chance someone said a prayer of thanksgiving for the mind Eli Whitney and his cotton gin. Can you imagine how back-breakingly difficult it must have been to pick this crop by hand? And second, this is a powerful and vivid image of a spiritual reality.
Luke 10:1-3 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. And he said to them, “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." I am praying for an abundance of workers to bring in the harvest that is now ready. I'm sure you are too.
