Daily Devotion for August 10, 2017

While I was at Walmart, I went to the jewelry department & was helped by a white Walmart employee. As he was talking to me, he changed the conversation & ask me what church I belonged to. I told him & answered some of his questions about God. While the employee was assisting me, a white guy with swastikas signs (Hilter’s symbol) tattooed on his arm walked up to the employee, interrupted us & told him to checked him out! The employee looked at me & I told him to go ahead & check him out. That guy not only didn’t acknowledge me, he didn’t look my way. After that guy was finished & moved out of the way, I told the employee that in spite of that guy’s rude behavior, I chose to allow him to be checked out before me. I told him that his behavior was HIS problem, not mine, but I will pray for him & wish him the best (Yes! That rude guy heard me & immediately walked away)! That situation became a teachable moment for all of us! After all was done, the employee asked for my information & thanked me! When we share God’s Word with others, sometimes we are immediately placed in a position to live out what we talk about. The devil would love to discredit your character, testimony or ministry (especially in front of those who are watching you or those you are witnessing to). You CAN make that devil into a liar & overcome WHATEVER he throws in your way! You can NOT do it within your own ability. Allow God to strengthen you WHEN (not if) those moments come! Remember, you can do all things through Christ who strengthen you (gives you the ability to overcome anything & remain standing when everything is OVER)!

Be blessed!
