Sharpen Your Tools – your Lion Bites word for today

In a picture I saw a queue of people at a blacksmith’s stone. Instead of the swords and weapons that I had expected to see, the blacksmith was sharpening scythes. Many of these had hung on walls for a very long time and were rusted and unused.

The Lord says that it is time to take down those scythes, for the harvest is ready. There are many battles and situations that have demanded your attention but these have been sent as a distraction from the real task, the task with eternal consequence, the task for which we have been commissioned and sent. This may requires a dramatic shift of focus and mindset from warfare to farming. It might require you to overcome a fear of man. Remember, the battle belongs to the Lord and He will fight your battles for you. So find your tools for harvest, prepare them and GO! Now is the time!

Matthew 9:37
Then he said to the disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore to send out workers into his harvest field”
