God's hands and feet

 
This will be short this morning because I have spent my normal writing time seeking to do the following:
 
"Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those who are staggeing towards slaughter.
If you say, "But we knew nothing about this,"
Does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?"
Prov. 24:11 & 12
 
I don't always know how to do this or what it looks like.  It most certainly takes A LOT of prayer and wisdom. This morning it looked like writing a letter to a fatherless boy encouraging him to follow his Heavenly Father. However, I know and believe, where the world tells us to mind our own business and to not get involved, Jesus commands us to fight, rescue, speak up, go after and encourage those who are being led away from God.
 
In Hebrews 3:12 it says,
 
"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness...."
 
And again in James 5:19 it says,
 
"My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."
 
 
Remember that we are God's hands and feet. May we all be used to rescue the precious, precious souls that God loves more than we can imagine. May we be alert to those He has cross our paths. May our prayer be,
"Tell me what to say and how to say it," (John 12:49) and  show me  the "proper time to speak" (Ecc. 3:7).
May we have the heart of the Father that HATES SIN because it DESTROYS THE PEOPLE HE LOVES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEEPLY.
