Absorbing God’s Word
“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.” 1 Peter 3:8
Applying God’s Word
It was a short one-hour flight. Louise and I whispered a short prayer to have someone sit next to us that needed Jesus and who wasn’t wearing air-pods. When the young man asked if the empty seat was available, I told him we had been saving it for him.
It wasn’t long before God elbowed me to share my testimony. It got quiet real fast, but that pretty much comes with the territory. Then the man said, “I appreciate your honesty and openness and want to reciprocate.”
He was the third generation in a business his father had taken over from his grandfather. He had left another career to help his father, but the business was struggling. At that point he accepted my offer to pray with him. It was a holy moment between two like-minded people.
As the plane landed, he smiled thanked me and said goodbye.
Accounting of God’s Word
Am I praying for opportunities to humbly share God’s compassion and love with others?
