October 18

Running with Jesus

Acts 14: 24-26 "And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.

     These were some busy men running town to town carrying the gospel, organizing churches, winning lost souls, and encouraging the new converts. They were running fast, long, and hard! This reminded me of our great commission Matt. 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."  I think our American runners have slowed way down on our running!  

      I wonder if we knew today was our last day on this earth how we would run our lives. If Jesus said the trumpet will blow at 10:00am tomorrow! Would cell Towers be blocked? Just saying! This is something to ponder because we may be the last person who speaks to a lost person. We have got to get focused and make witnessing a top priority. What is sad most don't even want you to tell them about Christ and his return.

Father, grant us boldness and help us take advantage of every moment of everyday! It may be our last day or their last opportunity. We are the only one between them and hell. 

Rehearsing about God, tomorrow!
