Recently we had a college group here on the ropes course and the contact person from the college specifically asked us not to mention anything about God during their time here. Before the group came the ropes staff gathered and prayed that we would somehow have the opportunity to share with these students without directly talking about God. The really cool thing is that God can always make a way when the door seems to be shut tightly!
During the day we were able to share many kingdom principles with the students like trusting, serving, and using your gifts and talents. It was a good day of team building and all, but God had a lot more planned for the day. On the last element of the day... the Giant Swing... God totally opened the door for me to talk with a couple of girls. They were on top of the swing platform and were pretty freaked out about it. I was talking to them about fear and was being really careful to not bring God into the middle of it all when one of the girls asked if I could pray for them. Wham! The door swung open and I got to talk with them about trusting God and choosing to push through the fear to experience the freedom and fun on the other side! We prayed and... whooosh... they were off!
So cool that God can open any door that man may shut!
Yeah for God to make an opportunity and for you to boldly share the hope you have.
