~Daily Devotion 15th~

Can you say that you have accomplished your goals for for this year so far?

But most important have you won a lost soul to Jesus this year?

There are 365 days in a year, and that is 365 chances you have had to lead someone to Christ.

At the very moment I type this line you have:

230 days

5544 hours

332361 Minutes

19957845 seconds left until 1/1/2010

This is plenty of time to lead someone to the Lord.

And by the time you read this, the time will be even less.

So you better get busy, the clock is ticking and the time is counting down.

We are His Disciples, and He has called us to tell the world about His love and also tell the world to be ready, because He is coming again.

Every day, Jesus calls. Every day, we answer. Some days we run to keep up with His long strides. Other days we hang back with reluctance wishing He would turn His gaze elsewhere. Yet He keeps calling. Our response, whether joyful or timid or sullen, is our answer to His call.

Oh, He's heard all kinds of answers before. He's heard them from Peter, John, Thomas, Judas and others of that special band of twelve. And He's heard them from the Seths, Marys, Benjamins, Daniels, and the countless other folks who followed Him from the Sea of Galilee to Jerusalem. All were disciples. His every day disciples.

You see, His disciples weren't only the twelve Apostles. They were ordinary people like you and me. They might have met Him on a dusty road, or encountered Him at the village well. Perhaps they prayed with Him at services, or chatted with Him as they toiled at daily chores. But once He entered into their lives, they responded. That's the way it is with everyday discipleship. He is there. He calls. We answer. However faint, our answer puts us among the ranks of His disciples.

So, do not wait on the Preacher, Teacher, and the Head Deacon, to do the job God called you to do. That is to live for Him daily. When you asked Jesus to come into your heart, you became a disciple. And one day you as I will stand before God and He will hold us accountable for what we did and did not do. So do not blame the Preacher, Teacher, and the Head Deacon for the lost souls around you. Take up your cross and do His will.

(John 7: 38) says, "He that believeth on me, as the scriptures hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water."

Is living waters flowing out of you?

Father God, help me to help others this year. Please let my thoughts, daily be what can I do for God today? Do not let a day go by, that I do not share about your saving grace. In Jesus Name I Pray Amen and Amen
