The hitch-hiker

Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
Isaiah 42:23

The hitch-hiker
An incident from several years ago clearly illustrates that God pursues and addresses individuals. He has encounters with them so they might have a relationship with Him.

A Christian picks up a hitch-hiker on the way to the train station. During the five-minute ride, he gathers the courage to address the hitch-hiker on the central theme of life: “Do you believe in God?”

The hitch-hiker’s response indicates to the questioner that he has touched a raw nerve. However, it is not a response of rejection, as from someone who immediately becomes “allergic” when approached about God. No, quite the opposite is true.

“Just a while ago, I received this New Testament,” explains the hitchhiker to the astonished driver. “I silently prayed, ‘God, if You really exist, make sure I reach the train station on time.’ Now, not only have I reached the train early, but I’ve also been spoken to about God.”

Similar moments occur in everyone’s life. They are moments when we feel God speaking to our hearts. Then, we face a decision: Do we want to listen to Him and engage with Him? Are we ready to heed God’s call to repentance and believe in His Son, Jesus Christ? Or do we prefer to maintain our own course in life?

Today’s reading: Exodus 27:9-21 · Luke 11:1-13

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

There is a nature that is of the Earth and there is a nature that is of Heaven. Since the fall of man, the earthly nature of man has become corrupted and therefore is greatly under the influence of the kingdom of Satan.
