"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." (Matt 18:20)
Each one of us has experienced a ministry connection where the
presence of Jesus was obvious. As we sat in a home and talked with the family, or
engaged a poor person sitting in front of his tarp covered tent, we felt Jesus
with us as we talked. Those times are very special, and they give us the
strength to speak into a life.
When Jesus promised to be with us, He knew that we would have
many discouraging or challenging times that would require strength much greater
than what we could muster on our own. In His wisdom He expected these times and
promised His presence.
Do you expect the presence of Jesus when you are serving
Him? Sometimes we go out in our own strength and don’t expect Jesus to meet us
there. But in those moments when we least expect Him, He appears and blesses us
with His strength and power. Next time you step out in service, pray for His
presence proactively and expect Jesus to show up.
What can you do to
help someone in pain today?
