The People You Will Need

Someone has said to pay attention to the people God brings across your
path, they are important to your future. As I look back I can see
several moments when a person intersected my life and eventually
became a key to my future in ways I could never have imagined. In the
in's and out's of life, the daily moves and travels the Lord is at
work and is forming our future. Acts 15 Silas is sent back with Paul
and Barnabas to answer a key question for the early church. Silas was
to bear witness to the word. But... eventually Silas becomes a team
member of Paul. What appears to be a momentary accompaniment (and
Paul could have questioned if that was necessary) opens the future for
both of them. Could it be that the very people who appear to be just
along for the ride hold our future? How would we respond to those God
is using to open the future for us if we realized today they would be
significant tomorrow? And on the other side, who is Lord intersecting
our lives with for their benefit? Eyes wide open my friends, the Lord
is at work!!!
