Deuteronomy 1, Deuteronomy 2: 1-23, Luke 9: 57-62, Luke 10: 1-24, Psalm 57: 1-11
Luke 10: 2-3 (ESV)
“And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the
laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send
out laborers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as
lambs in the midst of wolves.”
In verses 2 and 3 from Luke 10 Jesus tells the people he
appointed to spread his teachings, to pray to the lord for help and to be a
like a lamb. I love that Christ recommended that when we want talk to someone
about our faith, we need to always pray to God and Holy Spirit and for other people
to help us reach that person. It may take several people sharing or
demonstrating their faith with someone before they can start their faith
journey. Christ also recommended and we have the attitude of a lamb, which some
Bible commentators have said means that we are meek and trusting of God like a
lamb and that we do not try to abuse or manipulate the people with whom we are
sharing our faith. I love these recommendations from Christ because it means
that we can simply share our faith with people, without needing to have results
or ever feel like we are a failure. Leading a person to Christ takes prayer,
many people, and a trust in God that we are always doing the right thing, and
God will use everything for his plans to achieve the results he wants in that
particular person’s life.
