Dealing with the Unexpected Part
Listen – Yesterday we talked about how we make time so we can be interrupted. Today, I want to reflect on this passage again today because we live in a different environment. We’re talking about Luke 10:30-37 and the Action Week of the Marketplace Mission Trip.
Everyone who needs our help isn’t lying on the side of the road bleeding. We live in a culture where even people who are in financial difficulty can hide it. Listening to others shows appreciation, which is our 2nd Daily Activity, but it also is a way we can hear God when He prompts us. Ask great questions today. Ask people to tell you more. Ask them to explain what they say. You may find opportunities to bless others simply because you made time in your schedule and you then took the time to ask. And if you don’t talk to anyone today, you can still practice how you will respond when someone asks you why you follow Jesus. The more you listen, and the more questions you can ask, the greater the likelihood that Jesus will give you a job today. And when he does, step into the role. Do what the Samaritan did. Trust God and take the time.
Don’t forget our 5 daily activities, Pray, Appreciate others, Know what you believe, Serve others and Speak for yourself. God will use you in the lives of others when you punch in with him every morning and then do what he says!
