Expecting a Divine Appointment

Ephesians 2:10: "For we are "His" workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."

As Christians we know that we are commanded to show our "Good Works" to others as a fruit that grows from the root of our faith. As James so clearly states in James 2:18: ...and I will show you my faith by my works.

Preparing for a "Divine Appointment"

What is a Divine Appointment?

A divine appointment is God orchestrating the time, place, and event for you to be used by Him to serve another person.

John 3:16 (New Living Translation)

 ¹⁶ “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

One of the greatest needs of people today is for God to become visible. Yes, his might and his majesty are visible to all of us through his creation. However, nature can not convey God's great love for each of us personally. Unless God's love can be conveyed, God's fullness remains invisible. That is where you and I come in; we can be the mirror that reflects back to others a mini-glimpse of God's love.

I am enjoying exploring new and often overlooked opportunities in my personal life to interact with those I meet. I am looking for additional ways in which I can demonstrate God's love and passion through acts of kindness and giving as I go about my daily routines. In my search for new qualifying ministries, I am not including the charities and mission activities that I may participate in as a member of our local church or community activities. I whole heartily and continually support these outreach programs and ministries. However, the situations that I am wanting to partner with are new and additional experiences that God will choose to orchestrate and direct. I am seeking God to direct me to "His Divine Appointments" on an on going basis.

I have recently been  inspired,by reading Bruce Wilkinson book, You Were Born For This. The book encourages us to walk out our door each morning believing that God will use us to deliver a God- connected-necessary-miracle today. This is something that I can get excited about and really promote in my life.

How to Prepare for a God Connected-Divine Appointment:
I have decided to prepare before hand for these "Expected Divine Appointments". I will carry an assortment of "Just for You"cards in my purse.. Some of these cards will be for sharing the gospel, and other cards will contain money to help meet some one's need (known as "God Pockets" in "You Were Born for This"). Then I will stay alert and wait for God to make the appointment.

I will post updates and share more details as God directs my thoughts and opens new opportunities. I am excited about this new adventure in Faith and invite you to come along on my journey.
