“So he started out, and he met the treasurer of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under the Kandake, the queen of Ethiopia. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship, and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.” Philip ran over and heard the man reading…” (Acts 8:27-30a NLT Version)
I’m going to get straight to the point. What if you were heard or even seen reading your daily meditation in the workplace, let’s say in the breakroom or the cafeteria? Don’t you think this might create an interaction with someone where you could do some personal evangelism or some faith sharing?
Try it! Yet, if you are timid, even though the Lord did not bless you with the spirit of timidity, do like Sister Regina, a faithful saint at the church I attend. She prints out the meditation and leaves it on the corner of her desk for others to see. I know for a fact that this caused at least one person to be a daily follower of Mark Writes for years!
Well, if you don’t have the courage to read the meditations aloud or silently in the workplace, or you don’t have space on your desk area, then let people read you. For you are Christ’s letter! See what Paul told the church at Corinth below. Think about it! Be blessed!
“You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” (2 Corinthians 3:2-3 NIV)
