It Doesn't Seem Right

Noise to the left and noise to the right, friends pulling on friends and all kinds of distractions; and still someone listens to the Good News about Jesus Christ and receives Him as Lord and Savior. It just doesn't seem right that it can happen like that; but that is how it happens on a daily basis. Maybe it's not a band in the background, or a talent show loudly making noise on the other side; but it is the noise of life trying to steadily distract people from a loving Savior. And yes, friends don't only let friends drink and drive; but they will pull them away from listening attentively to the Truth of Jesus Christ. On more than one occasion I've seen someone zoning in and listening as I shared with them about Jesus only to see a friend come along and yank them away. ---So, when the Holy Spirit cuts through the dense forest of distraction; it doesn't seem right that people can get saved through all the noise. Yet, in truth if we are to be saved; it is almost always through some kind of noise. Seventeen saved in two days at the noisy fair! Share in your world today, and the days ahead. Trust God to do that thing He does.
