Proverbs 3:6 - Divine Appointments and Sharing Jesus.
Proverbs 3:6 (NLT): Seek his will in all you
do, and he will show you which path to take.
COMMENTARY PEARL
After a day of door-to-door visits, my
pastor headed back toward the temporary clinic set
up by our church's mission team. Suddenly,
Pastor Steve felt compelled to veer off on a side
trail. His guide and translator insisted that
nobody lived on that road. But just a couple
hundred yards down the trail, they saw two men
digging a ditch. The guide warned that the men would
not want to talk while working. When Pastor
Steve introduced himself, one of the men
responded, "I've been expecting you." He had dreamed
that a white man with a black book would visit
him and that he should listen to the man's
message. That afternoon on an obscure trail in
Africa, two men became new followers of Jesus.
Despite my noble intentions and worthy
ambitions, my personal agenda will always pale in
comparison to God's plan for my life. When I make
following Jesus my first priority and invite Him to
direct my steps, my days become full of divine
appointments. He may lead me to someone waiting to hear
about Him for the first time, or to a longtime
believer who needs to be strengthened and encouraged.
I might encounter a person in need of
practical help or friendship. Or He may direct me to
someone who will fill a need of mine. Either way, my
faith will grow as Jesus uses me in His work. If I
stay close to Him and follow His leading, I'll
never find myself on a dead-end road. Dianne Neal

Faith Step: Ask Jesus to make you more
sensitive to His guidance today. Keep alert for any
unexpected path He wants you to follow. Someone may be
expecting you. [Mornings With Jesus 2022 Devotional by
