Please pray The Holy Spirit would work through the various Vacation Bible School (VBS) meetings going on throughout the United States, Canada & Europe and other parts of the World while it is summer and kids are out of school... Many believing kids ask neighbors to attend and this is a rare time when hearts can be soft and open. Pray for the leaders and workers to be anointed and prepared to share the Gospel. May the youth be saved and people be empowered to pray -- we are at a crucial time in history where this may be their opportunity to hear. May darkness be bound and The Word of God spread rapidly and be glorified (2 Thes 3:1-5), in Jesus' Name.
"I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest. Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together: (John 4:35-36).
"Christ compares his work to harvest-work. The harvest is appointed and looked for before it comes; so was the gospel. Harvest-time is busy time; all must be then at work. Harvest-time is a short time, and harvest-work must be done then, or not at all; so the time of the gospel is a season, which if once past, cannot be recalled" -- Matthew Henry on John 4:35 (The Samaritan Woman at The Well).
"We must do the works of Him who sent Me while it is day. Night is coming when no one can work" (John 9:4).
"Our life is our day, in which it concerns us to do the work of the day. We must be busy, and not waste day-time; it will be time to rest when our day is done, for it is but a day. The approach of death should quicken us to improve all our opportunities of doing and getting good. What good we have an opportunity to do, we should do quickly. And he that will never do a good work till there is nothing to be objected against, will leave many a good work for ever undone, 'He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap." (Ecc 11:4). -- Matthew Henry on John 9:4
