Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path
straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Have you ever gone into a maze and tried to get out, or
worked on a maze in a puzzle book? God’s
path is not like a maze. He has a straight
path to follow. He wants you to look for
His path in your life as you share Christ with others. Lean on the Lord for
everything you need to walk this path.
God’s path leads to open doors to
share Christ
And pray for us, too, that God may open a door
for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am
in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it
clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way
you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Colossians 4:3-5
God opens every door for you to share Christ with
others. Picture with me a door with only
one doorknob on the door…the doorknob is on God’s side of the door, not your
side. As you pray, He opens each door of
opportunity to share Christ with people who He puts in your pathway. The only thing that you need to be ready to
do is to walk through the doors that He opens and share His simple
message. This is a lifestyle that is so
exciting.
What are some of the doors that God may open up for you as a
Christian to share Christ with others? For
example: at your home, with your mail carrier, at the store, at school, at the
ballgame, on vacation, on an airplane, at church… The list goes on and on. When there are many open doors for His
message, your life becomes a life with purpose.
God’s path leads to open hearts
that are ready to accept Christ
“God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach
out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.” Acts 17:27
“One of those listening was a woman named Lydia , a dealer in purple cloth from the city of
Thyatira 16:14
When you share Christ with someone, guess what? God has already prepared his/her heart to
listen to what you are sharing! He/she
is already searching for Christ. God wants
to use you to bring the answer to this person who has been searching. God prepares the heart of each one to accept
Jesus as Lord and Savior. He is looking
for obedient followers with open hearts who are ready to share Christ.
