Matthew 9:37-38 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Since we returned to our home in the Negev Desert in Israel, we’ve noticed that the usual “desert scene” we are so accustomed to, has completely blossomed with grass and flowers — what an amazing difference! It suddenly occurred to me, as we were delighting in the beauty of it all, that the seed was already there! No one planted it. All the hills, now rolling endlessly with green — they are not owned by anyone. Miles and miles of grass and wild flowers suddenly shoot forth where there was nothing but brown before! It was just waiting for someone to water it! And God brought the rains.
Be encouraged today!! The desert is blooming! This is a sign to us! Pray for the rains to come! God has planted seed from the beginning of time! In each of us — even those who seem furthest from the Lord — God has planted seed! And we will see salvation and revival because of His great mercy and love!
Morning devotions and Bible mmitresaoion is the one thing we definitely do 6 days per week. I find it sets the mood and tone for the day and the kids love hearing passages or verses they’ve memorized in other contexts, like read out loud in church or referenced in a book. Even on days I feel like I’m not really doing any homeschooling, at least we’ve done that for the day. Because it’s before breakfast, and nobody eats until we’re done.
