Matthew 10:19b-20 Do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Success is defined in many ways. But regardless of how we define it, we want some type of memento, trophy, or something to show for that success. In business, it’s framing that first dollar of profit. When fishing, it’s the picture of that trophy catch displayed on the wall. For us hunters, It’s that trophy buck hanging on the wall. Spiritually, it’s the memory of that first person we are able to lead to Christ.
We can dream about success all day long, but we’ve got to take action in order to achieve it. The entrepreneur can have the most genius business plan in the world. But if no action is taken to work that plan, it’ll never be a success. The fisherman can have the best boat, the most up-to-date tracking devices, and the most tricked out lures and baits. But if he never casts his line, he’ll never make that trophy catch. The deer hunter can buy the most expensive rifle and top notch scope, he can reload his own ammo, and shoot everyday at the range bragging about his quarter sized grouping. But if he never goes into the hills, and never shoots, waiting for the perfect shot, his work, time and energy is for nothing.
The same is true in our spiritual lives. We have the greatest Spokesperson in the world on our side, ready to speak through us to people who need to know Jesus Christ. But if we never open our mouths to tell our story, we won’t be able to experience the ultimate joy of seeing them come to Jesus.
When the opportunity presents itself to share your story with someone, you don’t have to worry about saying the perfect words. You also don’t have to quote a Scripture word for word chapter by chapter. You don’t need to deliver a mini-sermon on the spot. You only need to trust that when you boldly take action to speak, God will be true to His promise and give you the right words to say.
It's Time To TAKE ACTION!
