One morning last week it began to rain just as I turned into our neighborhood. It has become second nature for me to push the button on the remote to open our garage as I pull into our driveway. However that morning, I lifted words of thanksgiving for the garage to shelter me from the rain. My thoughts drifted to the memory of our last house where the garage was too small to park my SUV and I had to run inside from the rain. I became keenly aware that not everyone has the same opportunity to be sheltered from the rain as I do.

That is also true when thinking about God as our Ultimate Shelter. Not everyone has had the same introduction to God and sadly so many do not know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

What does that have to do with you and I? Everything! While we cannot really share our carports or garages with others to be protected from rain, we can share the Good News with those who do not know our Savior. We are called to be missionaries, sharing the love of Christ with all who cross our path.

On this Water Walking Wednesday, spend some time intentionally brainstorming ways to share the Good News. How can you be a witness in your words and actions? Where is your mission field? What can you do to offer the Ultimate Shelter from the rain to someone who is getting drenched by a downpour? Are you willing to share the shelter?
