I was reminded today of the importance of being aware. God will use you in the middle of the most routine things. He's not limited and he will interrupt your agenda to promote his. Don't be so caught up in your issues that you miss the opportunities to minister to others around you. That's your calling and your purpose. Don't neglect the duty you have as a Christ follower.
Today as I walked out of the examination room at my Ob/Gyn's office I crossed paths with a lady in tears. She appeared pregnant and in distress. I don't know her situation but my heart hurt for her. She was being wheeled away by a nurse and before I could talk to her she was gone. I checked out and walked out of the office and as I waited for the elevator who should cross my path yet again? That woman again. We shared the elevator and as the door closed I turned to her and prayed with her. I told her God was with her. She held my hand so tightly and I sensed God there. I walked away in tears. I remember countless times I left my doctor's office frustrated and in tears for my own struggles and only He was there for me. I know it was no accident that I left my doctor appointment at that precise moment. That was orchestrated by God.
Again I tell you, don't be so wrapped up in yourself that you miss out on blessing others. That's the redemptive power of Chris in you, to be used by and for Him!
