I admit to having eaten my dessert before the meal. I admit to showering after I've shaved. I admit to signalling after I've already changed lanes. I admit to asking permission after I'd already done it! I also admit to failing to capitalize on countless opportunities to witness. Oh, I've got my excuses: I was in a hurry; I wasn't prepared and didn't want to do a lousy job of it; I wasn't comfortable with the person or place; I, I, I, I, I...
It's funny how my other routines don't seem to mind a bit of disruption, but witnessing would somehow throw my whole machine out of whack!
John 7:6b (NIV) "for you any time is right."
Jesus has a way of getting right to the point. As one who has been saved BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH, ANY time is the perfect time for me to share the wonderful news of God's saving grace. With the Holy Spirit, I am ALWAYS ready, ALWAYS prepared and if I just get out of the way and act when the moments arise, God will do the rest. The right time to witness is exactly whenever! What if Philip hadn't seized the moment with the Ethiopian on the desert road (see Acts 8:26-40)? What if? What if? What if? That's a question I hope I won't have to ask this year. God please help to be a better a witness each day this week, this month, this year.
