He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Psalm 24:5-6 ESV
My youngest granddaughter (5 years old) spent the night at my house last night. It's always a great time. She likes to go to Chick-Fil-A because they have a small play area there, so we went. Typically, she will eat some and play a little while and then repeat until she is finished eating and finally "played out".
During Round Two of playing, there were other children in the play area, and I noticed my granddaughter talking earnestly with a little girl whose grandparents were sitting on the other side of the playroom. As she finished using her fingers to count off whatever points she was making, she asked, "Where's your mom and dad?", then walked to the glass where the other grandmother sat, who motioned that she couldn't hear and for the grandfather to go see what was going on. He opened the door to the playroom and without preamble, my granddaughter asked, "Why doesn't she know about God and Jesus?" I was ready to jump in if needed, but the grandfather replied, "She does know about God and Jesus." He assured her, "We go to church, too." As he stepped back out of the playroom, he turned to me and remarked, "You've got an evangelist there, eh?"
The Chick-Fil-A employee standing next to me remarked, "We should all be so bold with our witness."
Prayer:
Father,
Give us the boldness to witness to those You place within our sphere of influence! Holy Spirit, fire up our hearts and pour out a fresh anointing of courage and commitment to spread the Gospel wherever we find ourselves. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
