Daily Devotion for June 15, 2017
What would you do if you saw an ashtray & cigarettes at a church’s pulpit? Some people would talk badly about that pastor, look at that pastor differently or quit going to that church. One lesson you have to remember is… EVERYBODY NEEDS PRAYER! You never know what a person may be going through or what they are dealing with in their life. Regardless if it’s someone who recently got saved or the pastor, bishop, etc., ANYBODY can fall into sin & NO ONE is excused from life’s problems! That’s why it’s important for us to PRAY for EVERYBODY! If you were in their shoes, wouldn’t you want someone to pray for you instead of talking about you?
By the way, the ashtray & cigarettes that were at the pulpit belonged to the homeless man the pastor feeds & prayed for. The homeless man placed them there to tell the pastor that he quit smoking, made peace with his family & wants to join the church because the love of Jesus the pastor showed to him. The other lesson to this story is… NEVER ASSUME! Be blessed!
