Who is it we Help, and who Helps Us?

As we go about our lives we run into various people we don’t know, they are strangers if you will. Some of these are needy, some are unruly, others are irritating and obnoxious, but most are just everyday souls we pass along the way as we live out our Christian lives. The question I would like us to consider today is inspired by a Bible verse from Hebrews 13, and the question is this: have we ever crossed paths with an angel, and if so did we realize it when we did, and what were the circumstances? Was the experience we had challenging, spiritually rewarding, or, simply nondescript until after it was over?

Encounters of Common People, in Everyday Places, with God and Jesus

Christian , Daily Devotional , Encounters with Jesus

Where were you when Jesus first tweaked your heartstrings, or God called you to do a work for Him? Were you seeking them? Had you gone to the holiest place you knew of, and called out to them? Or, were you simply going about your everyday life in the world when you first began to hear their voices? Did you go to a mountaintop searching, or just happen to find yourself in a nondescript place that was made holy because God came to you there? More often than not our encounters with God, and Jesus, occur in unlikely places where we least expect to meet them… are we ready? Will we know them?
