I used to ride a commuter train to school. I was also a new Christian, and I looked forward to that 45-minute ride as a time to read and study my Bible. A woman sat down next to me while my Bible was open on my lap, and she kept peering over at what I was doing.
This irritated me. My Bible study time was being interrupted by this nosey woman. I shifted slightly away from her, but she only leaned in even further. Finally, I stopped reading, placed my hand over the open Bible, and looked directly at her. She certainly noticed that!
After an awkward moment, I was convicted to engage in conversation. I remembered that my morning prayer had been for God to give me an opportunity to share Jesus with someone. I almost missed it because I was so focused on my own time with the Lord!
We have “windows of opportunity” every day to share Jesus, but we can easily miss them. Jesus wants to tell His story through us. We need to be ready to share.
