Bible Study
Verse
John 4:35
You know the saying, “Four months between planting and harvest.”
But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest.
(NLT)
Thoughts
A drive across the plains of South Dakota reminded me of the
upcoming wheat harvest. The fields are especially green and full this year due
to abundant rain. The varieties of wheat used for the fall planting varied
widely. So the maturity of the fields reflected that variety. Some fields were
still green. Others were just beginning to turn that light green that melds into
yellow. Yet others were already heading into the golden color that announces the
harvest is near.
(Jack M)
Action Point
Partner with God in His harvest of people. In the context of the
John 4 passage, the disciples of Jesus did not realize the priority of God in
reaching people. When Jesus mentioned the harvest, they thought He meant food,
as they had just returned from a trip for food.
Jesus lets them know that reaching people is a priority. He speaks
of the nourishment He receives as He accomplishes God’s priority of reaching
needy people.
We need to prioritize people in our schedules. We need to reach
out to them in everything we do. We must always prepare to share. We must
purchase each chance to sow the seed of the gospel in the hearts of people.
The outdoors is a perfect place to accomplish that. Psalm 19:1-4
tells us that creation literally screams out that there is a Creator. It
is our privilege to introduce others to Him!!!
Sportsmen’s Tip
of the Day
Get involved with local chapters and clubs that improve habitat
for wildlife. Invest some time, energy, and money in this worthwhile activity.
It will generate a benefit of more wildlife in the long run. It will also
establish or develop relationships with others who need the Lord.
