Devotionals
Here in Florida we have a number of different species of
woodpeckers, the largest of which is the pileated variety. When
they go to work on a tree, they attack it furiously with wood chips
flying in every direction. I wish we could train them to drill holes
for seed planting in drought season.
Recently, a reader wrote about kindly witnessing to a lonely
neighbor in loving ways. The other side of the coin is when
someone shakes a finger in someone's face and says, "Are you
saved." If there is anyway not to witness, that is it.
As Christians, we are seed planters, and we can plant the seeds of
faith in Christ in many, many ways. I have told you before about
my mother who died at age 50. She was a very meek and shy soul,
but her consistent witness of "living" her faith was a wonderful
testimony to me as a child. She couldn't have verbally confronted
someone about their soul if her life depended on it -- she was too
shy. Maybe you are the same, but there are myriads of ways to
witness to the joyful faith we have in Christ. One of them is
simply living a consistent life of obedience to the instructions laid
out for us in God's Word. Don't be obnoxiously superior about it.
Just humbly do it.
In Luke 7:35 (nlt). Jesus said, "But wisdom is shown to be right by
those who follow it." If we follow the wisdom of God spoken
through Christ, our lives will show it, and our seed planting will be
effective. Evangelism is akin to one beggar showing another
beggar where to find bread.
