1 Corinthians 3:9
For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.
The target of Paul’s mission was the Corinthians. He wanted to see the seeds he had planted watered, growing, and producing a harvest. It takes many people sometimes to reach the goal of harvest. I presently live in a rural community. It is not unusual to see farmhands working at various stages of the growing process. This week, I saw a lot of fields being plowed up in preparation for planting. In the next few weeks, various crops will be planted. Farmers will hire help, especially if the fields are large. Our harvest field is massive–the whole world. One person can’t do it all. The best part about it all is that we have the greatest Partner. If God is on our side, we should have no fear and no competition. We are workers with God and others.
