MAY THEY KNOW
Today's reading: 1 Kings 5-9

"May people all over the earth know that the Lord is God and that there is no other God." 1 Kings 8:60 NLT

The unsaved may never choose to pick up a Bible and read the accounts of God's greatness.

They may never choose to visit a church and hear the pastor speak from the Word.

They may never thumb through a religious tract about the Romans Road to salvation.

They may never investigate the story behind the lyrics of a Christian song.

There are a lot of things they may never do, but here is one thing they do on a regular basis: they bump into us.

God's people.

His messengers.

The very same children He has chosen to spread His Good News to the world!

Those of us who believe in the resurrected Christ and His saving power...

Like my Dad while he fishes at the lake.

Like a friend of mine who is completing a sentence in jail.

Like a dear gal I met who has been called with her family to be missionaries in a far off land.

Like a prayer partner of mine who loves on the little ones God has placed in her public school classroom.

Like a retired friend of mine who is taking a quilting class.

Like a gal I know who never meets a stranger.

Like my pastor who preaches and plumbs.

Like my sister who nurses folks back to health.

Like my teenage son who plays a louder kind of Christian music than his mother enjoys.

Oh, friends, that they may know that God is God because they have bumped into us!
