The Opportunity Will Come.

Ezekiel 3:19
19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself.

It's my 300th post today!!!

There is so much that goes on around us in the world. We can miss certain things so quickly if we stay to ourselves and focus on ourselves. Sometimes our short comings later, and sometimes we don't.

That's not really the point though. The point is to try your best to pay attention to your surroundings. Why is that essential? You may have the perfect opportunity to talk to someone about being a Christian at the lunch table or at work.

Instead of looking at the situation as, if you don't follow this request, you will be punished, rather see it as a reward if you are successful in this. (Don't get stuck on this whole idea for too long either because that pulls you into the self-interest deal again). God wants you to have life instead of death!

Scripture tells us that each man is ultimately responsible for their OWN life and decisions. This will lead to an eternal life in a better place or eternal life in a miserable place and a distant relationship with God. Remember the free will discussion we got into a week or so ago? Don't take advantage of that gift!

God's grace certainly is free if you accept the Lord as your Savior, along with his mercy, grace, healing, and love.

If the expectations presented in this scripture could be summed up they would go something like this (as someone once said): "Look, believe and live."

Take a look at this video. More testimonies like Rifqa's can come true if we just look for opportunities.



P.S. If you have trouble with the video stopping and starting, keep the video paused, and let it "buffer" (load) as it's called for a while. You will see the red bar along the bottom advance (speed depends on your Internet connection). Wait until that bar gets pretty far along (I'd say more than halfway) before you play the video and it shouldn't pause.
