Retired Army Chaplain Foster is one of our board members. We met several years ago and have maintained contact ever since. He and his wife are part of the Charlie 22 Outdoors family. He has been a guest. And now they volunteer with us. Chaplain Foster helped us write our 22 day devotion.
At an event of ours that he spoke at, he talked about us being fishers of men. Talked about it is our duty to show others the light that comes from Jesus. Talked about how we never know what we’re gonna say, at that one moment, that’s going to make an impact on somebody. And he is so right. Read that again please. It’s our job. It’s our way of honoring what took place on the cross 2000 years ago. Plus, I view it as a command. Thus…it’s our obligation.
The Bible tells us, “Therefore, go and make disciples.” I don’t look at that like a suggestion. I read that as we are being “told” to do this. The Bible is our manuscript. It is our guide for life. And it is telling us to do go make disciples. We are called to be servants for Jesus. And that means we are called to be servants for others. To lift them up. To show them grace. To show them hope and love. To show them the way to eternity with God. That’s not a burden. That is something we should honor and love doing. As Chaplain Foster said, we never know what we’re going to say, at that one moment, to that one person. So maybe today is the day for you to get into the game. Maybe today is the day for you to begin serving your Lord and Savior. To show others who he is. Or, maybe today is the day for you to get to know him. To learn who he is. To start a relationship with him. Remember, believing in him is the key to eternity. No question. He will show you where he can use you. All you have to do is be willing and look for the opportunities. Because he loves you. Always has. Always will.
