It is true that we are in the month of opportunities, it is true that it is the word of God but know that we must do our part, we must have our eyes open to see what God is giving us.
Also we must know that the Holy Spirit can move to the nations for a person, God can do it anytime, anyhow, we just have to have our hearts covered and available.
By reading the story of the Samaritan woman in John 4, we can understand that when this lady came to draw water from Jacob’s well, she found Jesus.
For her, it was a surprise, she was on her guard, she did not know him, she knew that there was tension between the Jews and Samaria and she kept her distance.
Curiously, Jesus a Jew speaks to him, he finds an excuse to make conversation and asks him to drink.
The woman is still cautious but Jesus insists, she clicks and changes her attitude, she calls Jesus Lord and becomes more and more interested in the conversation.
The Samaritan woman draws closer to the Lord to understand better, she wants to be taught, she even entrusts herself to Jesus.
Jesus makes it clear to her that the water she has come to seek is not a solution, it is not permanent, it only relieves for a moment and he suggests that she try the living water that he alone can provide.
The Bible tells us that the Samaritan took the opportunity to recharge her batteries, she let herself be filled, she took advantage of this opportunity to change her life and free herself from the burdens that bewitched her.
Here is a woman who was originally a prostitute who came in contact with Jesus and became an evangelist.
Her encounter with the Lord radically changed her life and she went to her village to spread the good news, bear witness to the wonders of the Lord and above all share the love of his Jesus with others.
Every opportunity must be used to glorify God, at all times we must learn to listen to the spirit of God impacting the needy.
This is why the Lord tells us today: Pray to stay alert to recognize your opportunities.
Luke 19:44 – they will destroy you and your children in your midst, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time when you were visited.
We live in a world full of violence, of disorder, we are surrounded by a dehumanizing individualism to the point that we cannot recognize the God who visits us.
We are so covered in darkness at the point where the Lord descended and we failed to grasp that the moment of favor and grace was there.
Beloved, let us stay focused, our God sometimes speaks in one way, sometimes in another.
May the glory be his.
hello to us
Have a good day
