I flew into Los Angeles Wednesday night after a long day of traveling that included a trip to Post, Texas for my aunt’s funeral. I was exhausted so I did a little reading but that was about it. As we neared LAX, the sun was setting over the mountains, and in the distance, I could see the Pacific Ocean. It was a breath taking sight. I sat there trying to take it all in. God’s handiwork was amazing and there I was, 30,000 feet above the ground with a box seat.
As I reflected on that later, I realized that just below me were literally millions of people who were missing it. They were in their cars, bumper to bumper on the 105 creating continuous lines of lights both white and red. They were stopping by the grocery store or making their way to their favorite restaurant. They were all busy about their daily lives. And all the while, I was seeing the most amazing sights.
It dawned on me, that I was seeing God at work and others were missing it. What would it take for them to see it too? Really, all it would take is for someone to get their attention and direct it toward the sun.
The apostle Paul addressed this in Romans 10:14 when he said this: How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?
It is our duty as followers of the Way to point people to the Son.
How will you carry out your duty today?
