Day of Opportunity

I would like to share a quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer which says; "The responsible person seeks to make his or her whole life a response to the question and call of God." Galatians 6:10 reminds us that all of us have a responsibility to "...work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith" (HCSB). How do we respond to those moments when God presents us with the opportunity to share the love and kindness of God with those who are in need? Each and every day, we are presented with opportunities to serve and worship God. When we respond in obedience to God, He will bless our lives in so many ways. But there are times in which we are so busy "taking care of our self" that we squander those opportunities to assist others down the path of life. We fail to understand that not only will God bless those who are recipients of the help that we share but we are blessed because we took the time to share the care and concern of God. Have we become so busy with our own needs that we fail to take the time to see the needs of others? We must remove the emphasis from ourselves and start recognizing the opportunities to serve others. This is a great day of opportunity that God has shared with you, how will you respond to those opportunities? Someone is waiting for you to be obedient to the call from God and share His awesome love and grace with them. Be obedient today and respond to those God planned opportunities for you. Be excited about being a servant in the Kingdom of God; great will be your reward! The services at Seneca continue to be led by the mighty presence of the Holy Spirit. Once again last night the altar was full of God's children asking for the gifts that He has prepared for them. In the midst of all of the challenges of life this is still a day of hope and courage. Trust in the truth of God that is being declared over our lives.
