In All Circumstances

1 Corinthians 9:16 “For necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel!”

Preaching the gospel is my main purpose as a believer. Sharing the Good News with others every chance I get. Do I live out this purpose the way I am supposed to every day? Sadly, I do not. So I must ask myself the reason why. Am I stuck too much in the natural world that the spirit world becomes secondary? Chambers says, “We are apt to forget the mystical, supernatural touch of God.”

Have I experienced the supernatural in my journey with Jesus? Yes, I have had unexplainable occurrences happen over the years, moments that the Holy Spirit is so present that I experienced a touch or a voice that was not of this world. God certainly got my attention in those moments, so how can I put those aside in my everyday life? How can I forget about my supernatural connection with God while going through my day? If I focused on the truth of the gospel and the transforming nature of my relationship with Christ as tightly as I hold onto anxiety and fear, wouldn’t I be sharing this truth with everyone I meet? Chambers writes, “If you have been obliterating the great supernatural call of God in your life, take a review of your circumstances and see where God has not been first, but your ideas of service, or your temperamental abilities. If a man or woman is called of God, it does not matter how untoward circumstances are, every force that has been at work will tell for God’s purpose in the end.”

I pray, “Help me share the gospel boldly in this time of unrest and uncertainty dear Jesus. In all circumstances and occurrences in my life, may You be revealed. To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.”
