Seeing

SEEING AND SEIZING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS  

Do not suppose opportunity will knock twice at your door. -Chamfort

Acts 26:28, Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

            Paul saw opportunities around him quite often to share Jesus. The difference between Paul and many Christians today is that Paul seized the opportunity to tell them. One of such instances was when Paul had been taken to Rome to stand trial after he had appealed to Rome since he was a Roman citizen.

            Paul was not a respecter of persons. He didn’t care if you were rich or poor, a King or Barbarian, Paul saw the spiritual need of their wicked hearts and seized the opportunity to share with them all Jesus.

            Do we just see the need around us? Do we walk by people every day not seeing that they are hurting? Do we ignore there are some around us that need help? Do we see the lost but keep our mouths shut?

            Lord, help us today to not only see the need of the lost, dying, and hurting world. Help us today to seize the opportunity to share the Good News of the Gospel for they are not guaranteed tomorrow.
