Everyday Opportunities

To quote Oswald Chambers," Ministering in everyday opportunities means being God's very special choice to be available for use in any of the seemingly random surroundings which He has engineered. " Even as I realize the truth about that statement I have to also recognize that life is not about me it is about Him.

When I am caught up in what God can do for me then I lose sight of the overwhelming focus of God through Jesus Christ which is redemption of the whole world. He wants my availablity not my expectations of His service of me. As I take the focus off me I experience more of the freedom that He has already given me in a relationship with Him. And I become more likely able to hear His call to join Him in the redemptive plan for this world.

As I attempt to challenge myself to move in this direction may I invite you along too.
