GOD WANTS EVERYONE: I Timothy 2:3-4

It is nice to know you are doing the right thing. My first year as a categorical program advisor was quite a learning experience. I had to attend a training for helping parents connect in meaningful ways with schools. A school in another part of the state had run a monthly program called "Family Fridays" where parents came and read for one hour with their child one Friday a month. My boss liked the idea and we began having our version if "Family Fridays". It was a huge success because positive parent involvement is highly valued in educational circles. 
"This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." I Timothy 2:3-4 
What pleases God our Savior is when we pray for our leaders. What God really wants is that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. 

Think about that. Think about the people you work with. God wants them to be saved. Think about your family. God wants them to be saved. What we are really talking about is the way God views people in comparison to how we view them. I tend to look at people as those who accept Christ or those who reject Christ. 

My pastor says to pray for at least one redemptive conversation a day. What opportunities will present themselves today? Who is it that God is interested in saving? Be ready and be willing.

Father, help us to share your salvation and knowledge with the world around us. Praise be to you in us today!
