How do you balance your commitments?

The key to “balance” is your schedule.  You must schedule your priorities & then stick to the schedule as much as possible.

Get a plan to do what you say is really important and then work the plan.  You will only have time for some things if you MAKE time for them.

Sounds simply right?

Maybe not simple, but helpful & true.

I had the great privilege of ministering in Church of the Harvest pastored by my long time & very good friend Brian Cuff!  And the next day his family & mine drove about 2 hours up toward Mount Bachelor.  It’s rated one of the top 10 ski resorts in the world and let me tell you: it is GORGEOUS!  The fam & I skied hard for three days.  Gavin took to snow-boarding like an old pro & Garrison learned the basics of downhill skiing.

Check this out:  we flew out there on Delta miles (free) & when we went to get our ski rentals they said, “We are running a special: everything is 100% FREE!”  Wow! Favor baby!  Then we went to get our lift tickets & it was buy one get one FREE!  Thank You Jesus!!!

We had so much fun & we were so tired after it was all over, but it was a “good tired.”

No Place Like Home!

The workers God needs are IN the harvest!  The co-laborers we need are still waiting out in the harvest.  What are they waiting for?  Some one to bring them the good news!
T.L. Osborn said, “Go out where the people are.”
Matt. 20:1-16 tells a story of workers that were unemployed… They were NOT out where the people were.  The Life-Guard that doesn’t watch the water, looking for people in need of help, is not fulfilling his responsibility.  We are life-guards.

Life can keep us busy, but it’s there in the midst of our busyness that we need to open our eyes & see if there is anyone in desperate need of a Savior. Jesus was busy but never lost sight of His prime directive.

Our purpose here on earth goes beyond basking in the goodness of the Son.  We can no longer turn a deaf ear to those who are drowning around us.

PROVERBS 21:13 Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard.

Where ARE the workers God needs… that we (as leaders) need?  Where do we go to find workers?  Bible colleges & seminaries?  Harvard School do Business?  Churches? Prophetic meetings?  No, none of these.  Where then?  On our knees before the throne of God!  (ALL we need is IN His presence.)  Prayer is never the least we can do it is always the most we can do.    Zech 10:1

So, pray!  Pray for someone specifically… Call their name out to God this week, & ask Him to make YOU a laborer!

*”The only barrier we face to a greater harvest is a lack of compassion that motivates prayer, which releases workers, which yields the harvest!” – Neil Cole

It was November of 1997.  I stood on a balcony in Calcutta India looking out over people as they wandered here & there.  Some headed to work, some aimless, others just trying to survive.  I asked, “Lord, do you want me to come here?  Live here?  What would You have me do?”  This is what came bubbling up in my heart:  Matt 9:35-38 Then He said, “Pastor the pastors that pastor the people.”

Notice what Jesus did NOT say, “The harvest is plentiful, but the dollars are few.”  Nor did Jesus say, “The harvest is plentiful but the property is too expensive.”  He didn’t say, “The harvest is plentiful but we first need the latest self-help book or practical program.”  NO!  The missing ingredients aren’t pennies, property, parking lots or programs.  Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful but the WORKERS are few.”  That’s what’s missing:  Workers!

No workers – no harvest!  Do you need a harvest in your life?  Is there someone you love or know that is “lost” or “harassed, like a sheep without a shepherd?”  Be a worker.

Easter Rocked!!!  Thanks to all our of the dozens of volunteers that made it happen in our 2 services yesterday at HarvestMobile!  We had 23 decisions for Christ!!! Yes!  Lives transformed is what it’s all about.

We didn’t break any attendance records but we did swell almost to 400.  That is our “new normal” goal for this year:  400 solid!  Keep bringing folks.  It’s been so refreshing this year to see lives changed &

For the rest of April we will head back to our “Bay Watch” series on caring for the lost, “invest & invite”, & evangelism through community or relationships.  (Here’s a radical thought:  we can actually “evangelize” through discipleship!)  It goes back to allowing people to belong before they believe.
He is risen!
