I am normally concerned with those things that affect my little microcosm world. If it doesn’t affect my family, my friends, my work, or my interests, I really don’t want to be bothered with it. Yes, being a Christian has widened my scope to some degree, but when it all boils down: I’m concerned about ME.
This year, I’m throwing that bad mentality out the window! There is a world out there that is lost and dying, and someone has to go out and let them know the truth. No longer can I sit in my church and pray that they somehow miraculously stumble into my path. I have to go out and stumble into theirs!
So, I am looking at some volunteer organizations to get involved with. I am investigating some charities (outside of my church) to support financially. More importantly, I am going to keep my spiritual eyes, ears, and my physical mouth open to what the Holy Spirit is leading me to do.
Usually I am in my own lane, zooming from one place to the next, barely taking notice of the swirling populace around me. No more! It’s time for me to slow down, pay attention, and go outside of my comfort zone. Too many people don’t know God!
I encourage you to take some internal stock as well. If you’re already out spreading the Good News – great! Help some of us come up to that higher level with you!
If you are like me, I challenge you to figure out how you can be more of an active witness for Christ on a daily basis. Christ told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel, but too many of us are sticking to our own tiny doorstep. (Mark 16:15)
Let’s make this a year of outreach and evangelism! They’re out there… Let’s go get ‘em!
Verse of the Day: Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:32, 33
