He's Beat Me to It

Going to school with a missions focus, I am constantly thinking about how I, as one person, can bring the gospel to dark places. You know the type. Indigenous tribes in the dense jungles, hippies living in fringe communes, cold communist countries. I am going to champion these places! I will take Jesus to places where He has never been!

Who am I kidding?

He's already there. Thriving and working.

The Gospel of John explicitly gives proof that God is at work.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."- John 16:33

God has overcome every aspect of the world, and although it seems so elementary, we target people and think that we are this person's only mode of the gospel. It all depends upon us. And that is true in a sense, but we take away the power of the Holy Spirit when we make it a civic duty to share the gospel.

Last night I was online looking at different methods of evangelism to my generation that is open and honest. I thought that I was the only one with a vision for reaching this certain group of people, but I'm too late. God has already started. Not that He doesn't need more workers, but, as per usual, He's got it under control.

Thanks for taking the pressure off, Lord. I'm just going to be open and pray that you will weave me into how you are already working.
