Seeking God | Day 17
Acts 16:14
One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
Imagine for me this scenario. Two people go to plant apple trees. One is a seasoned farmer who is very skilled. The other one has no idea what an apple tree is. They both plant seeds in the ground. What will come up? The same thing will come up. It does not matter who is planting the seeds, but it matters what the seed is. The same is true for the gospel. One man plants and another waters, but God gives the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). The Lord has called us to be faithful and to share with others. You don’t need a degree or special skills to do it. He is the One who opens up blind eyes and saves. We don’t, and can’t save anyone. All we can do is faithfully plant seeds and watch the Lord bring the growth.
PRAYER – Ask the Lord to give you opportunities and open doors to share the good news of Jesus with someone this week. Ask that He would give you courage and boldness.
