Use the day
As I awake, I turn off the alarm, I turn and plant my two feet firmly
upon the floor.
It is another day, I thank the Lord for another chance to serve Him.
This day will be a blessing to someone, maybe God will use me to me a
tool in that blessing.
If not, then it is still a chance for me to be blessed a I serve.
I rise and after getting ready, I begin my work as everyone does to
put food on the table.
No matter what may be your vocation in life, along your path someone
will cross your way that needs some inspiration.
Life is weighing them down.
There bills are too high; their job is filled with stress; their
family is seeking respite from all that ails them.
How can you make a difference?
Just listen. If someone complains in passing, take a moment, ask them
about what they said.
If they truly need to express what’s bothering them, they will, and
you will have the chance to hear, and if its possible respond in a
comforting way. If there is nothing God inspires you to say, or you
have no avenue of solution for their situation, then you just need to
say five words: May I pray with you?
God will give you the words to say to Him. By saying them, you will
not only uplift the need of the person you are with, but also your
own Spirit will rise in saying them.
You can both then move further along the path God has set you upon.
Let’s say you are not blessed with the ability to pray in public.
Do you know someone that can? In hearing the description of their
problem, did a person or entity you know pop into your head? That may
be a sign that you are to pass this person’s name along to another
or send them to someone else for encouragement.
Sometimes we have within us what is needed, sometimes we are simply
just the road map that shows them the next turn.
There are always bumps in every road and pot holes that need filling.
Perhaps you are meant to be there to smooth the road up a bit so
people’s system is not shocked as badly.
So, today as you plant your feet on the floor, equip you mind and
body to be a conduit for the encouragement you are capable of sharing
with whomever God sends your way.
