21 Days of Focused Prayer – Day 13
Psalm 22:27; Matthew 9:37-38; John 4:38; 1 Corinthians 3:4-9
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 (New Living Translation)
6 I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. 7 It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. 8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9 For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.
Since we are merely God's servants, we cannot ourselves produce any spiritual results. Only God can do that. Our various functions are all united in God's work. Though we are one in the work, we are individually subordinate to God and responsible to Him who will reward according to our labor. All is from God. He uses people of different talents and temperaments to help him cause the church to grow. Each of us reaps the benefit of our forerunners, and the succeeding generations in turn gain from the accomplishments of our predecessors.
Harvest time is a time of great work, but also great joy. It is at the harvest that the fruits of our labors are realized. Harvesting fills the barns to get us through the long winters.
