As a surfer I have my favorite surf spots to surf. Unfortunately, my favorite spot only works really well on a north swell. I can paddle out anytime I want, but if there is not a north swell, I will just be sitting there in the ocean at my favorite spot with no waves. Walking with God is very similar. Often, we go to God with our own agenda and on our own set time schedule. Then when nothing happens we wonder why? The truth is that God is moving! And we can participate in His work and miracles. We just need to know which direction He is moving in! We need to catch God’s wave, we need to be in God’s spot. Today as you pray for the lost, lay down your own agenda and ask God to lead you in prayer and in divine appointments for those He is ready to call. This is not to say you cannot nor should you stop praying for your lost loved ones who may not know Jesus, but begin by seeking out what God is doing. Perhaps, God has a coworker who is ready to hear your testimony or someone who is going to sit down by you at dinner. Only God knows! But that is the point, this adventure we are on is by God’s strength and leading not our own! What a freedom we have when we stop trying to make things happen and take advantage and participate in what God is doing.
Proverbs 3:5-7: “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight!
