Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? (Isaiah 29:17)
Don't you say, "There are yet four months until the harvest?" Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true, "One sows, and another reaps." I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor. (John 4:35-38)
The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2)

----------
The latter rain shall pour heavily even in summer,
And there shall come seasons of bountiful harvests.
No longer shall laborers stay idle under the shades.
Hear, people of the nations, and arise from slumber.
Arise from your idleness under the shades of trees;
For it won't be so long and it will soon be harvest!
Watch the field, and when it starts turning white,
Prepare yourselves and your harvesting tools.
Sharpen your sickles and ready your storehouses.
Even now, consider and look at your storehouses.
Rodents outside and inside, keep them away.
Make certain the harvest won't be wasted again.
Doubt not; be wisely generous to those in need.
Let no one be imprudent and wasteful again.
Enough there is for everybody, not for the greedy.
