Others?
Luke 10:33-34 'But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.'
 Some sage has remarked that, "Between tomorrow's dream and yesterday's regret is today's opportunity." People who seize opportunities become God's visionaries. God is searching the earth for people who can make decisions for themselves based on the opportunities around them right now. Mother Theresa taught that, "Jesus comes thinly disguised in the poor of the world." And Martin Luther King made this observation: "Life's most urgent and persistent question is this - what are you doing for others?" Something is wrong: We go to church where we will pray, "Lord, show me your will for my life." To get there we will pass hospitals filled with lonely people, prisons bursting at the seams with forgotten and angry men, homes where single mums battle to hold a home together and others where the cries of the kids can't be heard over the screams of their parents. Why don't we stop long enough to find the will of God at the side of the road?
Prayer: 'Jesus, help me today to invest my life in the needs of others. Help me to see the will of God for my life all around me – in the needs I meet along my path.'
