But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

We love to be around people who love Jesus. But I was thinking about the paper Pastor Melodie presented last Wednesday night. How can we help more people to know and love Jesus? What are some ways that God’s kingdom can come “through you”? How do we share our recognition and witnessing of God’s kingdom?

The authors of Eastridge’s devotions share several times a month the “sightings” of the kingdom in our midst. Writing books can be another way to share ways to come to know Jesus. Of course, not all of us are writers. And there are a lot who do not read devotions or books these days.

Let’s look at other ways to share the love of Jesus. Being truthful and trusting in your daily business is a great way. Refusing to participate in gossip, being a faithful church attender and participant and purposefully following the Ten Commandments show the world your faith.

We can bring others to the point of soaring on wings like eagles, so they may walk and not be faint. Doesn’t that sound like a wonderful way to spend our lives? Praying each day for others may be the most powerful way to we bring others to God’s kingdom because God answers prayer.

Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, please help us to pray for others to know how you renew our strength. Lead us in our lives to be examples showing your love. Thank you for the service of our Leader, Pastor Melodie. Amen.
