#soap # John 04 ## Title: We All Get A Part ## Scripture: (John 4:37-38) “For in this instance the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”” (NET) ## Observation: In the Kingdom of God, there are no big and small roles. The roles are only different. They all depend on one another. The harvester may look more important because they are the ones bringing in the food, but there would be no harvest without the hard work of planting. While the harvester is working, the planter gets to look on in rest. His work is already complete. I heard of an evangelist who was well known for having many people saved at each of his meetings. However, when his friend retired from traveling with him, he did too. His friend had never been on stage nor preached one of the sermons. People did not understand why he would not find another traveling companion. What many did not know is that friend would go to the new location days before the evangelist and stay in intercession over the upcoming meeting. The evangelist knew that his friend’s work was just as important. Just because you are not always seen does not mean you are unimportant. God sees you. ## Application: Celebrate the part you are playing in this season of life. Someone may be reaping a harvest one day only because of the planting you are doing today. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for making our every effort valuable and worth it.
