Go Where You Are Sent

Matthew 9:37

37Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

Jesus had seen the multitudes of people who were lost and sought after Him. In seeing them, Jesus had great compassion. He wanted to ease their weariness. And when He saw this, He was ready to send His disciples out but  Jesus recognized one truth. Many people are not willing to labor for Him to ease the weariness of the people. There a host of reasons as to why not but the most common is fear. Many that God has spoken to directly fear failing, fear not being accepted by those who care not to entertain the company of Jesus, fear not being able to roll around in the pig pen of sin they have enjoyed for so long. Since God sent you to this earth for a purpose and  yet you refuse to accept it, have you not already failed? If the people you are surrounding yourself with do not care to entertain the company of Jesus then do you really believe they accept you right now? Those same people are likely already talking about you behind your back because you are not who God called you to be and you are imitating someone else. The Pharisees talked about Jesus but He did what He was sent to do. And lastly, do you think there are no consequences lying in that pig pen for you? Do you understand that you will regurgitate whatever initial fun you have swallowed in that pig pen in the form of pain and consequences? They will be teachable ones of course.

Jesus came for a specific purpose. And Jesus didn't have Disciples for the purpose of being groupies. Jesus spent time with them because the objective was for them to go where He was sending them. So do not think that Jesus will not send you somewhere. You are not a groupie. He will equip you with everything you need when the time comes. You just need to be in the ready stance or what the military calls, "at attention" with Him.
