It's happening now

LENT

I, the Lord, will bring my people back from Babylonia and everywhere else on earth. The blind and the lame will be there. Expectant mothers and women about to give birth will come and be part of that great crowd. ~ Jeremiah 31:8 (CEV)

Jesus said to his apprentices, "The 'food' that sustains me is found in doing the things on God's to-do list. Indeed, that's why he sent me; and my job is to finish the work that he sent me to do. You might say that there is no great hurry because the harvest is still four months away. But look more closely and you'll see that these 'fields' are ripening rapidly right in front of your eyes and they are ready for harvest now." ~ John 4:34-35 (ABP)

KEY IDEA:

Don't get casual about doing the work of the Lord. He is really busy and ready for you to join him in his work.

PRAYER:

Lord, thank you for not being casual about saving me from spiritual death -- the permanent death that comes from sin. I, though, am casual about joining up to work alongside you. I'm blind and can't see how you are moving things along. So I ask that even if I can't see enough to understand, that you would light a fire under me to get me moving. I want to be a part of what you are doing. Amen.
