Devotional WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, 2010 Day 1
Surprise us God
Isaiah 54:2-3 ~ "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
“They just can’t do this, “ exclaimed William. “Can’t you see how wrong it is?”
“Look, most of the people in this town think it’s the right thing to do,” replied the exasperated ;government official. “It’s part of their religion.”
William questioned, “How is tying a living woman to her dead husband and burning them together the right thing to do?”
With this, the official threw up his hands. “William,” he answered, “one man alone can’t change this. Just give it up and go back to tending your flock.”
When his church denomination said that “God alone” would convert people in other countries, William ignored them and embarked on one of the most successful missionary journeys in church history. In addition, he taught himself several languages and published a book that became the source for the modern missionary movement. He also translated the New Testament into 34 languages and the Old Testament into eight.
William Carey fought for years against the practice in India of burning wives alive with their dead husbands. Eventually, despite government opposition, he succeeded in getting the burnings banned.
Care spent his life as an innovator for Christ, facing hardship to make a difference. And he was known for encouraging others to “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God” (based on Isaiah 54:2-3).
William Carey did just that.
When Jesus calls people to go into the world and make disciples, some respond with great fervor. Like William Carey, they go hard for the gospel. Still others respond, but only half-heartedly, slowing down with age or the busyness of their schedule. Sadly, many hear the command, but they figure that someone else will do it. Do you fit into one of these categories?
Prayer:
Dear God – Give us a desire to get to know you. Then, renew a desire in us to share our faith with others. Help us to expect great things when we follow you; I know you plan to do great things through us.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
