Often times we think our spiritual apathy does not hurt anyone but ourselves. But really it impacts so many more than that. If we are not ready for the opportunities that God puts in our lap (which he does each and every day) we will miss them! Check out this video...
Sometimes it does not feel like the most comfortable thing to do. Sometimes we hesitate because we don't want to step on toes or offend whoever it is that God has put on our heart. What am I talking about? Sharing your faith. The scripture reveals that there is a very real struggle for the souls of men and women, even for our kids.
I Peter 5:8-9
8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
God is not willing that any should perish, but we must remember that we cannot ignore the promptings that God lays upon us. Sometimes standing firm in your faith means sharing it with someone else. This is not conventional wisdom because the popular worldview speaks primarily to our own personal comfort. But I say trust God and be looking for the opportunities he gives you to be a witness for Him. If we do not budge then our faith will not grow. We must read His word, pray, and share our testimony with others, before we miss all of our opportunities.
