November 18

Running with Jesus  

Acts 21:3-4a Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.  And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days..."

     Paul landed in the port and where did he go? He went to find disciples on the land and stayed with them seven days.   No one had to beg Paul to get together with other believers! He was eager to meet and talk with them!    I get amazed at new converts and how they are so eager to grow in Christ and know more. They get right on board and are ready to go. Then you have some who never want to assemble and talk about the Lord and what He is doing! It always puzzles me! Running with Jesus you can see something every day He is doing! I want to talk about it! It is sometimes just little things I see! But I see Him working all around us! If it is just nature that teaches me of His faithfulness as the sunrises day after day just as He set it into motion at creation. This shows me He is consistent and faithful and can be trusted. Finding someone to share that with is so exciting! We have got to get better at getting together and sharing! 

      Let's find someone today and tell them something you learned or heard about Jesus! Look for something to share! Can't find anything? What about the oxygen He provides. Were you able to get out of bed this morning? Don't take that gift for granted! Look around and up stop looking at your circumstance that has got you off focus, look up see Jesus! 

Father, help us see You working around us and help us find some disciples today we can share with! Father, help those in need to see and hear You above the banging of Satan hitting their motions!   Help us to know and be strengthened by other’s testimonies too!

     Go find someone!

Tomorrow :It is prophesied about Paul's arrest that is coming! Hard days ahead!
