its been awhile


Mark 4:29

New International Version (NIV)
29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

     So, it's been awhile, I've truly missed you.  One of my many excuses is the  harvest.  When I talk to my customers about harvest the since of urgency is high.  The window of opportunity is small to get the crop out of the field.  There is too much risk to leave the bounty even a day longer.  The phone call goes something like this:  "Scotty, can you send someone out here in the next few minutes to get my combine going?"  
     Jesus has urgency in his voice during this parable.  Do you know why?  It's time for harvest of His people.  It's time for you to tell that person the combine is coming.  That person is a valuable crop and there is too much risk to leave them in the field even a day longer.
