3 It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 3:3-4
When God shows himself, it sometimes is in the most simple way. For years, I have never really openly shared my faith at my work. Working in a university setting, this is not something a lot of people do every day. Maybe I am not brave enough, or always felt like the threat of my position would be impacted. I was meeting with an employee and they were struggling, and it just came out of my mouth out of nowhere, I thought at first. I said, I don't know where your faith is, but you probably need to surround yourself with people that can support you and help guide you. This employee is a single mother of two and was struggling with the challenges of a new job and trying to meet the needs of her family. Looking back, I know exactly where this came from, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to say something about my faith and the truth that I live by in order to reach this person. We all need to be reminded of the truth daily, because the enemy continues to lurk around every corner to pull us away from our faith. So, God showed Himself in a simple but powerful way this last week, and it is important that when we have those promptings, that we follow through with His lead and what He wants us to say.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
