He spied Danny doing bike blessings at a booth
during a rally a couple of years ago. The two friends hugged and he asked Danny
to go with him to meet a friend. “I’ve been telling her she’s got to meet you!” He went on to explain that just like Danny
had shared Jesus with him at another rally in eastern Arkansas, he now wanted
Danny to share Jesus with a friend of his. He just knew that she’d jump at the
chance to meet Jesus if she could just hear the truth.
Danny was introduced to the young woman and they
began to talk. Towards the end of the conversation, she explained something
profound to Danny: “I believe this is all there is. When you die, you die and
that’s it.” Of course Danny shared that we are all eternal beings, and we will
spend eternity somewhere ---forever. By
not making a decision, she in fact was deciding her future.
The old biker friend shook his head. He just
couldn’t believe someone would hear the Gospel so simply spoken and refuse it. She went away still trying to convince
herself that there is no “afterlife”. We still pray that those seeds planted will
produce a harvest of faith in her life when someone else comes along and waters
that seed with more Truth.
Our lives are full of decisions. From small
decisions we make as children, such as which toy we want for Christmas on to
adult decisions that carry bigger responsibility. Some decisions have little if
any real consequences. Others, as we get older have monumental outcomes which
will turn our lives in one direction or another forever.
Today is another incredible day for decision
making. We are making history like never
before. I just pray, and I hope you do too, that God will not be writing our
prologue, but that one of us will be writing about the greatest Revival ever
seen. Right now we still have a choice; right now we still can make a
difference. Today is all we have.
Oh beloved, run to the Author and Finisher of your
faith! Let Him direct your decisions beginning fresh and new today! He cares
about your past, so much that He made a way to redeem each and every one of
your sorrows and wrong decisions. He cares about your present so much that He
is eager to lead, guide and direct your every move today. He cares about your
future so much that He’s made a way for you to live with Him forever. Not only
that, He’s made a way today for you to live so there are no more regrets!
Thank Him this morning for His incredible gift of
choosing you! Thank Him too that you can
now choose to walk in the light of His Word and live as an overcomer,
victorious and confident in Him! What a Savior, what a Friend, what a King!
2 Timothy 1:12 I know the one in whom I trust, and
I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day
of his return.

loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.

captives and continues to lead us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now He
uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.
Psalm 34:22 But the LORD will redeem those who serve Him.
No one who takes refuge in Him will be condemned.

best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”
Ephesians 1:7-8 He is so rich in kindness and
grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our
sins. He has showered His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and
understanding.
