A Dry and Thisty Land
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee, my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is. Psalm 63:1
Montreal is a dry and thirsty land, where no water is because people suffered a lot of oppression by the clergy..... It's a city where you can find anything and everything, from different religions to alien believers awaiting the mother ship (I'm serious)......
Although I really appreciate the different cultures, different cultures also mean different religions and different religions don't know the Saviour. Going back to work, this past week was rather difficult after having spent a lot of personal time with the Lord. I only find joy in serving the Lord through my church and my personal time with Him. There's a sense of security about it. You can't fellowship with non-believers, when all you have on your mind is JESUS. Everything I stand for is JESUS.
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:3
I know that God wants me to reach out to people He puts in my path, and I thank Him for giving me many witnessing opportunities at work. Those opportunities are the highlight of my week! There is a lot of joy in serving the Lord.
I thank Him that we go tract passing every Saturday. I'm really looking forward to next Sunday. After the morning church service, we will be heading downtown for street preaching (men preach, women hand out tracts). Street preaching is great. Montrealers are not used to street preaching. They've gotten used to us passing out tracts, in fact, a few churches do so, and unfortunately, so do Jehovah's witnesses....but street preaching, haha. I love it though, it makes me think of Jeremiah and all the great prophets, that's what they did, preached the Word of God on the streets.
But whether handing out tracts, street preaching, or witnessing to a co-worker, what's great about serving God, is that we get to water the dry and the thirsty land, where there is no water!
Praise God!
God Bless
