The Accidental Minister

Sometimes, you're just in the right place at the right time, or, depending on how you look at it, you're in the wrong place at just the right time.  Ever notice how God just has a way of arranging the events and people in your life in such a way that suddenly you find yourself thrust into a position to minister?  A couple of days ago a friend asked the question... "Are you willing to let Jesus interrupt your day in order to be used by Him for His glory?"  Good question.  Haunting question.  Is our faith important enough, vibrant enough, and life-altering enough that we would actually let Christ interrupt the routine of our lives?  I hope so.  Sometimes it happens that way.  In the course of an ordinary, mundane afternoon, you find yourself in a situation where you have the opportunity to get involved in the life of someone who needs you at that moment.  Ministry is never convenient.  It's messy, time consuming, and schedule altering.  But it is what we are called to do.  I hope that all of you are willing to deal with the interruption of ministry.  You may have one of those God-ordained moments even today.  I hope that when the interruption comes and a need is placed in your path, that you will actually see in the interruption an opportunity to help.  I hope you will see in the face of the one needing help, the face of Christ.
