Opportunity

Today is a day of great opportunity. Yesterday was a day of great opportunity and tomorrow, should God give it to us, will be a day of great opportunity.

I know that the economic outlook is not the best it's ever been right now, but that really is the root of the great opportunities that are before us now.

As we watch Wall Street go up and down, as we hear and read news of jobs lost and governmental debt mounting, people are wanting to hear about something steady and unchanging, something (someone, actually) dependable no matter what the circumstances of life are.

That Someone is Jesus. That Something is a Savior.

Our Jesus is the same, yesterday, today and forever and He is exactly the Dependable Rock, the Unfailing Anchor, the Indestructible Shelter that so many people today need from the storms of life that are raging all around us.

With the difficulties of life that surround us right now, we have opportunities like never before to point people to the steady, unchanging love of God in Christ Jesus.

It is our joy and privilege as well as our responsibility to do so.

People today need Jesus. Those of us who know Him as Savior and Lord can tell them about Him and His great love.

In the midst of economic troubles, we can show others how to be richer than they've ever been before with riches that cannot rot, fade away or be stolen.

The love and care of Our Savior is not dependent in any way on the ups and downs of Wall Street.

His Heavenly riches are poured out at His in accordance with His promise, not according to governmental bailouts.

He delivers us from sin debt rather than saddle us with bailout debt.

Instead of lamenting the economy today, how about sharing the joy of Jesus?

Both you and this old world we live in will be a better place because of it.

And please, remember to pray for revival. Fervently. Consistently. Insistently.

God is listening. He is preparing to act. Just pray.

In His Love
