Making the most of it

I love listening to Alistair Begg on the TruthForLife radio program because he has been given an incredible gift to teach and preach and he puts so much passion into it. I like it so much because when my brain is not turned off, or wandering about, or when my heart is not hardened to a lesson the Lord is teaching me I do sense I am called to action. Adrian Warnick mentions something about sermons calling people to action in a post on his blog, which in turn is a reference to yet another blog but I'll let you follow the links.

Ashamedly I admit I don't listen to the TFL messages on the radio often enough. But I happened to be driving to work last Friday during the time TFL is broadcasted, so I turned it to the AM station. I distinctly remember something he was describing about Joseph. You know, the one with the colorful coat in Genesis.

He said, although Joseph found himself to be put to slavery in the house of Potipher, he performed his duties the very best he could for the glory of God. And Potipher took notice of this as it was a witness to him. Then Alistair said to the [radio] listeners, make the most of every opportunity... (pause).... to the glory of Jesus Christ. I'm humbled. Let there be action in us all from this simple yet profound instruction.
