Digging Deeper: Make Heaven Crowded

Abraham boldly asked God, pleaded with God for the community of Sodom. He didn’t just ask for God to spare his family; he asked Him to spare more. He knew their judgment was coming, and he was pleading for more time.

Who do you need to pray for? Has God laid someone on your heart? If we want to impact our community, we need to start at home, raising our children to know and show how to be an example. We need to be the light in the darkness. We need to show up differently when we are in grocery lines, sitting in traffic, sweating at the ballparks, and holding doors. We need to show who Jesus is by our actions and our words. Even in the mundane, we should consistently show kindness and offer grace. If we truly want to pass on our faith to the next generation and change our community, we need to show them what they are missing. We need to tell them how we would have never made it through without Jesus. Tell them how Jesus changed your story for the good. We need to pray for opportunities, pray for our neighbors, and then pray for God to use us in big, BIG ways.

I pray as you end your work week that you are able to walk confidently through this day, certain that God can and will use you to bring others to Him. Together, we can make heaven more crowded.
