I will try to be brief today, but concise. At work there were walls falling down. They started to fall the day before, but today I had my first real spiritual conversation with men that had believed and gone to church most of their lives, but seem to have allowed the world to conform them into its mold. I was able to speak some of things I have been learning from God recently into these men's lives. I do not remember ever teaching men three times my age anything before, but I know I cannot take credit for what the Spirit taught me. These men opened up their lives and we shared true fellowship with one another and God made my mission more clear to me in this work place. My conversation with them showed me just how much darkness there is in the American workplace. People you ask will talk about church for many hours, but when it comes to real, life changing relationship and walking with Jesus, people get pretty quiet.
Lord, I pray that as you have called be to be salt, use me to preserve and flavor my workplace and community with the life and joy that only you can bring. As you have called me to be light, use me to go to the darkest places to shine the light of your good news and healing truth that can bring the freedom and fulfillment that you created us all to desire. I do not know all your ways for they are above mine, but help me to only do what I see you doing and to not be afraid to hit the gas pedal when I have handed you the wheel. Thank you Lord for your goodness and faithfulness, they truly are new every morning and never fail.
