Absorbing God’s Word
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” Proverbs 3:27
Applying God’s Word
On what was already a very busy day, I squeezed in a call to my financial institution. A young man named Tom, answered. As Tom searched his computer for my information, I asked, “How’s Tom today?” He replied, “I need a career change. All I do every day is respond to complaints.” I asked, “What are you passionate about?” Tom said, “I’d love to work for the Lord.” I replied, “Maybe you’re already doing that.”
I talked with Tom briefly and gave him the web page for “WorkLight” explaining how our ministry mentors people in living out their faith at work. God was empowering me to share the gifts of my time and clarity with Tom. I asked, “Can I pray with you , Tom?” He answered, “Sure.” When I finished praying, I knew God had blessed both Tom and I with the gift of His presence.
Accounting of God’s Word
Am I withholding good from those to whom God wants to bless? Do I know when God empowers me to act?
