In this day and age witnessing for the Lord is not easy, perhaps it never has been. I find I’m not having bad conversations with people neither am I having good ones. Having just spent a couple of hours with my neighbour, who I know is opposed to anything Christian, I feel very dissatisfied.. I reasoned with the Lord that she knows I’m a Christian and she knows that I know that she is not. I had prayed that if the Lord wished me to say anything of a spiritual nature, He would prompt me. But I’m thinking I might have got this witnessing thing all the wrong way round.
I’m thinking that I’m guilty of fear and disobedience. More and more I’m finding that opportunities to witness are not arriving. ‘Wait on the Lord,’ we’re told. Yes, I think I should be waiting in anticipation, but is that enough? Each time I leave my home I should expect to speak to someone about the Lord. It is up to Him to tell me who, but I should be expecting it to happen.
God in His grace has shown me salvation. My question to Him should be ‘Who is it you want me to speak words of salvation to today?’ At the start of each conversation I need to be asking ‘Is this the person?’ Lord, I pray that You will fill my conversations with Your love.
