“Attempt great things for God; and expect great things from God.” —Missionary William Carey

Take a look around, keep your eyes and heart alert; you never know when you might be called on to attend a divine appointment.  You might be called on to lend a helping hand, to lend a listening ear, to share what Jesus has done in your life, or to extend an invitation for someone to join you at church.

John noted such an appointment in John 4:4 about Jesus, who was always in tune with the Father’s divine will, and said of Him, “He had to pass through Samaria.”  Jesus knew that the Father would use Him and so Jesus was always ready to be used.  Sure enough, God’s servant makes a connection that changes a woman’s life and the lives of those in her community.

Do you desire to be alert and yielded to the prompting of the Holy Spirit today?  One way I have found to prepare myself to be used is to simply pray each morning, “Father, may I be led by your Holy Spirit this day.  I yield my will to you.”  My payer for you is that you will attend a divine appointment today that will bless you and others for life.
