John 4:27-42, Ecclesiastes 10, Jeremiah 32-34, 1 Peter 1:1-9

Recall:
John 4:34-35
Jesus said, "The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. As you look around right now, wouldn't you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It's harvest time!" (The Message)

Ecclesiastes 10:10
Remember: The duller the ax, the harder the work; Use your head: The more brains, the less muscle.

1 Peter 1:3-5
What a God we have! And how fortunate we are to have him, the Father of our Master Jesus! Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we've been given a brand-new life and have everything to live for, including a future in heaven—and the future starts now! God is keeping careful watch over us and the future. The day is coming when you'll have it all—life healed and whole. (The Message)

Reflect:
The harvest is here. The time is now. The words resonate through me. Jesus' food, Jesus' life was interacting and sharing life with those around him.

Peter's words to his readers are so encouraging and so vital to our lives. God is good! God is the giver of eternal, abundant LIFE, and that starts now—or it can start now if one were to get plugged in.

Our faith has so much to offer—water that never runs dry and always satisfies. We need to be working hard with a sharp ax to accomplish as much as we can with the time and resources available to us.

Respond:
God, help me focus even further on what your calling on my life is so that I can be about precisely what I am most qualified to join you in.

I no longer want to let a day go by that I don't interact with someone and let them know about all that you have in store for them.
