In
the flow of life.
I
had been fishing an isolated section of a local trout stream, and
didn't see another fisherman until I was on my way out. Here is our
conversation, to the best of my recollection:
“Any luck?” he
asked.
“A few. How about you?"
“Just getting here, ” he said.
I
glanced at his rig. It didn't look like he was set up for trout, and
I wondered if he would catch anything at all. “Do you fish here
much?” I asked.
“I usually fish the lake for bass, but thought
I'd give the stream a try.”
I thought about asking him if I could
watch him for a few minutes, but I had already overstayed my time
streamside. “Good luck...”
Later,
relating the conversation to our daughter Katie, I said, “Trout
will only bite if given a natural presentation.”
She immediately
replied, “just like the gospel”.
Ah! – she is right!
We
are asking God for open doors to engage people naturally, in the flow
of life, verbally and with the testimony of our day to day lives.
When others initiate with us, which has recently happened a few
times, we take note.
Would
you pray with us as we seek to live out the gospel in practical
ways, “ in the flow of life”, and teach singles and young
families to do the same?
Thanks ~
