INTRODUCTION
I believe that God interacts with His people on a daily basis. He desires to do that. Sure, we should see Him when we open our eyes, or dress ourselves, when we arrive at our destinations safely, and greet our family & friends. Yes, these are miracles we take for granted and we SHOULD give thanks to God for them. However, if at the end of the day, we cannot pinpoint a certain moment where there was a Yeshua-experience just for us, we have missed Him. I am going to start a series in which I detail those Yeshua Moments in my life and I hope you do the same. Let’s practice His presence. Let’s consciously choose to see Him in everything, everywhere! Here’s the point–”The more we focus on what He IS doing, the more of that He will do in our lives. If we focus on what He is NOT doing, He will NOT do anything–and it is not that He is Not doing anything, but that is all that you will see.” So let’s practice the presence of our God for the next 30 days and record them so that our spirits can be alive in Him. Let’s help to build one another’s faith and awaken our spiritual pores to the living Presence of our Abba. Come on! Let’s walk with the Father!
Day #26 — “Recounting the Day”
I shared with a Bible Study Group that there are some people who will evangelize just to build up their resumes! After all, there are some schools and religious organizations that will require applicants to chronicle how many souls they have won to the Lord or at least how many people they have shared the Gospel with.
For the most part, some in the Bible Study were shocked to think that some regard witnessing as a system of works. I shared with them that works are very important because of the teachings in the book of James. Also, our rewards in heaven will be accrued — not because of how nice we have been — but whether or not we shared the Gospel.
Here’s the bottom line — at the end of the day, in our recollection, we should be able to recount the number of people we have blessed, whether we told them, “God Bless You” or whether it was to share the Gospel message. What about in our prayers at the end of the day if we were to say, “Father, bless that person whom I let take my parking spot today” or “the one who looked really sad.” What if we really walked circumspectly like that and redeemed the times? What if at the end of the day I could do that — not to count the souls touched or saved just for the sake of counting or out of pride or vainglory — but to ask God to bless those whose lives we impacted during the course of the day.
Father, let blessing people be a part of who we are and not what we do. Really, Father. let it not be second nature but OUR nature! Amen.
