Gospel Opportunities — “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have” (1 Peter 3:15a ESV).
God opens a door of opportunity for us in everyday circumstances and the Holy Spirit has perfect timing. Some of these opportunities might be:
A sales person in tears from the previous customer.
On a flight of 300 people, you are sitting next to someone very anxious about flying.
A coworker or fellow volunteer who is on edge with fulfilling their responsibilities.
You are asked a few days before your daughter is having heart surgery how you can be so calm.
Be prepared through prayer, having God’s Word in your heart with the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is with you. Show Everyone your Love in Christ by words and actions, because whether intentionally or not, you will BE a witness in all you do. Always remember to give God the Glory!
