In my Bible reading recently, I came across this verse..."And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him." Matthew 26:16
We know that this is referring to Judas and Jesus. I really don't want to use that story or even the entire verse. I just want to take the one phrase...
"And from that time he sought opportunity".
I think the Lord is yearning for Christians who will live out this phrase. The work of God is so immense in this world. We will ALWAYS need more to seek opportunity.
I thought of a campaign that Awana is doing February and March. The 60-in-60 campaign. They have a goal of reaching 60,000 kids with the gospel in 60 days with the Awana program. You can watch the video HERE! It costs $10 to reach a child in a foreign country with the gospel. SVBC's Awana club had a goal of raising $100.00 and sponsoring 10 kids. Already, we have over $150.00.
What is the 60-in-60 all about really? SEEKING OPPORTUNITY. Wow. That gives me goosebumps. Seeking opportunity to make a change in this world for Christ.
But this post just isn't about 60-in-60. It is to encourage YOU to SEEK OPPORTUNITY. Where is the Lord directing you? Does He want you to teach a Sunday School class or be a helper in Awana? Does He want you to give to missions? Sing in the church choir? Clean a classroom in the church? Pick up someone and bring them to church with you? There are SO many ways to seek opportunity. It is up to you.
But the key word is seek. Your pastor is waiting for people to say, Hey, I want to be involved! Don't delay...seek today!
