October 24
Running with Jesus  

Acts 16:14  "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

      I told you those praying women's lives would be changed and Paul who answered the call shows up. Now we meet Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira.  Lydia was praying and God had opened her heart. She was ripe for hearing the message of salvation. There are people actually crying out wanting to hear the message of salvation and this is why we must answer the call to go. We must be ready when we walk out the door in the morning to present the gospel. We must be in tune with God's Spirit. Doors open daily but we are so busy with our agendas we don't even think about it! Somebody is crying out to know God and we are the key God wants to use to unlock the door to heaven. Lydia listened to Paul’s message and gave her heart to the Lord!
               

 Lord, as we prepare to go out of our homes today make us aware of some soul that needs to know how to know You. Empower us to see and share the gospel. Every day they pass us by but today let them stop and ask us how. We are here answering Your call show us where to go and to whom we are to share Your love with today.

What is going to happen in Lydia's life now? Meet up with us in the morning!
