Same day….different story
John 4:35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
“Well, I am just headed to work today,” you might likely say. You could say running a few errands, going hunting in the woods, spending the day with your kiddos, or even sitting alone in your chair on social media all day. In every single circumstance their is an opportunity to share your faith. Let me challenge you even more by saying you claim complete solitude; diligently pray for someone close to your heart and the Holy Spirit will do a work you cannot. God has designed or allowed every step you will make today, and he is giving you opportunities to share your faith and harvest fruit from doing so. You will never know true joy as a Christian until you experience God using you to encourage someone else.
Jesus had just witnessed to the Samaritan women at the well. She was so moved by it she ran back to her city to share her faith and to take others out to meet Jesus. The disciples had returned to the well where they left Jesus to rest and found him talking to her. They were astonished he even was talking to a women, much less a Samaritan women. Jesus was showing her and them the gospel is available to everyone. He was teaching them about sowing and reaping heavenly work or fruit. He was teaching them to always witness to everyone God has placed in your circle of influence.
Is there someone who God has placed around you that you cannot imagine sharing your faith with? I have been in that situation many times myself. It takes a true combination of boldness and humbleness to speak to them. You must have the boldness to open your mouth, and the humility to know the Holy Spirit will give you the words. Christ told the disciples of the tough trials that awaited them as his disciples, and of how they must be such as this. Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. No matter what excuse Satan gives you today to remain silent, ignore your enemy and be bold in your faith. God may use you to produce heavenly fruit of which you will receive those eternal rewards when you get to heaven. It all begins today…..
