Sunday last week one of the young(er) couples of the church asked if they could take us to dinner. We gladly accepted, enjoying the opportunity to spend time with them as we have “adopted” them into our hearts. Once we were seated at the restaurant, the waitress noticed my accent (PRAISE GOD, I still sound like a Texan!), and asked me where I was from. When I told her, she asked why I had moved to Scranton. At this point I had the opportunity to say, “It was a career change within the same company I work for,” which would have been about as true as Abraham stating that Sarah was his sister, or I could say the whole truth, “God brought me here to re-establish and strengthen His relationship to me.” I was greatly tempted to say the former, but by the grace of God told her the truth. With that, God opened the door to speak of spiritual topics. As it turns out she’s a Christian and the conversation was one of great edification and rejoicing in some of the ways God has moved in our lives. I can’t help but think of the blessings we all would have missed if I hadn’t told her what God wanted me to say.
Oh Lord, let me never hide the truth in unrighteousness, but boldly proclaim it at all times.
