Just a couple of thoughts and prayers from yesterday…
Pentecost was the feast of the first fruits harvest. Now I might be completely behind but it had never clicked in my mind before just how important that day was and I am not referring to the numerical facts that it was seven weeks after Christ’s death or other such significant calculations. I was either completely oblivious or not paying attention close enough when all my previous teachers mentioned that Pentecost was the feast of first fruits. I find it absolutely amazing that God poured himself out on the people during this particular feast day, which normally lasted only one day; two at the very most. I am hearing from many different sources that we are in a time of harvest and the reapers are few. There is such a large harvest waiting for the picking but I think we need a new outpouring of God so that we can see it and come back to him with our own first fruits harvest. Lord, rain down your spirit on our stagnating society, Renew our minds, hearts and souls so that we will be able to see the harvest and be willing to reap it.
Also, I would just like to remind you that because we have Jesus, we have the power of the spirit. Quit trying to shift the responsibility and figuring out who would be the best person for the job; in our weakness he is strong. He doesn’t want our strength he wants our obedience and trust. Furthermore, do not offer up false humility by focusing on what you once were and what you could not attain without God. He is with you! Go out and do something and give Him all the glory!
