Look around you. This week we have talked about opportunities that God gives us as well as the principles of recovery ministry. The people we are around are going through so many things that we don’t know about.
There are no tags on their shirts or signs over their heads that tell us they lost a loved one, they are struggling with addiction or depression, they don’t tell us their life’s story as we walk by. But what we do have is the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people who cross our path.
It could be as simple as a smile and head nod. It might be as time consuming as a long conversation or a drive across town. What is need is for us to look around, see the opportunities God gives, notice the people who cross our path, and do something about it. Speak up. Share something. Give value to others.
Psalm 121:1-2 NASB
I will raise my eyes to the mountains; From where will my help come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
We are so blessed to have the God of the universe to help us through life, to guide us through challenges, to give us words to share and to issue life-changing hope to us. We can do the same for others. Look to God!
Luke 6:10 NASB
And after looking around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand!” And he did so; and his hand was restored.
Look around you today. Speak up when you notice these people. Listen to the Spirit of God inside you as to how to respond to those you encounter.
It might change your life. It might change their lives.
This weekend the raceway ministry team in Martinsville has the opportunity to interact with race fans from so many locations. Please pray that our team will look around, speak up and listen to God as we have an opportunity to share hope with others.
