1 Cor 9: 15 -27

Yesterday was a very interesting day as I ponder it, actions do speak louder than words and it was action packed. Some real good meetings, work accomplishments and dinner where I was again able to share my faith and at times defend it as well. One interesting thought was posed to me as far as a mutual acquaintance and his inability to believe and where he was ultimately going. While I have a personal dislike for the individual, my answer was that if he didn't believe in Christ, he would spend eternity in hell. Which made me ponder and hopefully inspire me to pray for the man's salvation. Q&As about faith, God, Jesus was a good part of my dinner discussion and hopefully while my words are inadequate, God is not.

Onto the passage - v.16 pretty much summarizes what happened last night. 19-23 reflected upon my willingness to eat what this person ate last night (fish instead of meat) given his medical condition to empathize with him. Not that it wasn't good - it was terriffic! 24-27 God gives us certain opportunities to conduct ourselves before man so as to win them and for His glory. I pray that I don't blow these opportunities.

Praise for today: God is truly the Provider of all things I need and want.
