Not Too Busy To Reach Out
0 Comments
Travis Earles sent this encouraging note about how Josh Deckard (pictured at right) is living as an ambassador for Christ:
As a former government worker starting up his own consulting business based here in Washington, Josh Deckard is a busy guy. But not too busy to reach out and encourage men in his sphere of influence.
Because of his heart to reach out to others and encourage other men, Josh seized the opportunity a few weeks ago to initiate an informal Bible study, and invited a handful of guys who work nearby (including Brian Gallagher, T.J. Weber and me) to join him at 7:45-8:45 a.m. on Friday mornings. We read a chapter out of the book of John together (a few verses each), Josh prays, and then he leads discussion with simple questions to draw out the main points and intent of the passage and how we should respond and apply it.
The simple faith that Josh demonstrated in taking this initiative, primarily as a means of outreach, has inspired me to love God’s Word and love God’s people even more. It has been a tremendous blessing to pore over God’s Word together in those settings, and affecting to see how the Holy Spirit blesses us and opens our eyes. Josh’s heart to serve in faith like this has provoked me to reevaluate the limitations I set on myself, particularly at work, and to think more broadly about how God would have me reach out and encourage those under my influence, both friends and colleagues.
As ambassadors for Christ, let us never think ourselves too busy or too deficient to serve in even simple ways, when the rich resources of God’s Word and his Spirit are available to us.
