Award winning author Lee Strobel, in his current book The Unexpected Adventure, shares with us the excitement of his experiences in sharing the Gospel. "You don't need to have all the answers to every theological question. All you have to do is authentically follow Christ in your own life and ask him to ambush you with opportunities. Simply put, our role is this: to be ready and willing---because God is always able."
Being ready means spending time in God's Word and allowing it to speak to our hearts and applying it to our lives. We don't need to have the entire Bible memorized in order to share with others how it has impacted our lives. Being willing means taking advantage of God-given opportunities to share the truth with those around us. It involves a desire to embrace the personal mission field He has given you to as his ambassador. God has proven his faithfulness throughout Scripture and it should be great comfort to us in knowing that He uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for his honor and glory. Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Samuel are just a few examples of those who were willing to follow God's command and were commended for their faithfulness (Hebrews 11).
The surest part of this equation rests in our Heavenly Father. As the Creator of heaven and earth who spoke everything into existence, He alone is able to accomplish his purposes and plans. His choosing to involve us in his work should be a continual source of praise and worship. There is no greater honor.
