“Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.” Acts 19:8-10

Lord Jesus, Today is a day full of so many different gospel opportunities, so many different opportunity to tell people about my God. So, Spirit come, and put strength in my every stride and open my eyes to see the opportunities that you put in front of me today. My problem is, Spirit, that I get so focused on my responsibilities and the things that I have to get done today, that I put on blinders and almost ignore the people that I am rubbing shoulders with (six feet away, of course). I am focused on my to-dos and ignore the people that you put in my path. Forgive me, I pray, and open my eyes to see the opportunities, the gospel opportunities that you give me each day. This is a day for me to proclaim Jesus. This is a day for me to share the message about Jesus in many different circumstances to many different people. Open my eyes, Spirit, so that I can see and seize the moments that you place in my path. Amen.

We can’t go into a synagogue to preach or teach. We don’t have a lecture hall where we have a podium at which we can speak. But we are walking on paths and interacting with people in different circles. How will you seize that moment to share Jesus? “Make the most of every opportunity.”
