Signs God is Speaking to You: An Inspiring Story
“Time to get up,” I whispered.
“I don’t want to!!!” my son moaned. “Why do I have to go work on that house again?” He continued to whine.
My thirteen-year-old had been helping pain a family in need with his youth group. He had enjoyed being with his friends and working on the house the day before, but at that moment all he wanted to do was continue to sleep.
“Yes, we need to go. Jesus says that when you do things for others it’s as if you are doing it for him” I found myself saying.
“Fine,” he reluctantly replied as he rolled out of bed.
After he was dressed, he walked into the living room and plopped on the couch. He sleepily rubbed his eyes and moaned again, “Why do I need to do this?”
Again my thoughts went to one of my favorite verses about service, “Because the Bible tells us that when you do good for others, you are doing it for Jesus too” I paraphrased. “You know we have about 5 minutes until we have to leave. Let’s quickly read our next devotional entry. We forgot to read it last night, and we are already behind.”
We were currently reading Max Lucida’s One God, One Plan, One Life: A 365 Student Devotional. For this devotional, you were supposed to read one of the devotions a day.
I opened the book to the one we were on and read. The passage for the day was…
The Verse that Spoke Loudly
Jesus said, “I was without clothes, and you gave me something to wear…I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you did for me.”
After I finished reading, I looked up. Hilt was staring at me with narrowed suspicious eyes, “Did you read that one on purpose?” he questioned.
It wasn’t until he questioned me that I even notice that the Bible verse I had just read was the one I had been paraphrasing all morning!
I could feel my mouth dropping open and my eyes widening.
“Woah!” I exclaimed, “No, I didn’t plan this!”
Hilt didn’t say another word about how sleepy he was. He got up and walked to the car so that I could drive him to the house. He was ready to help his brothers, sisters, and Jesus.
