Windows of Opportunity

"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect," 1 Peter 3:15

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and you shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." Deuteronomy 6:7

There are opportunities to speak into the life of a child, or really anyone for that matter. Sometimes the opportunity comes in the form of a question. Sometimes in the form of a comment. 

For example, I was reading my Bible to one of my students. He recognized part of the armor of God because of a song we sang in class. I was able to tell him how when he speaks the Word of God it's like a sword. The example I used was Ephesians 6:1, which he also recognized from a song, to illustrate if he was being tempted to disobey, he could say, "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." to fight as a sword against the enemy.

There are little windows of opportunity to speak into the lives of those around us. Keep your ear tuned to the Holy Spirit and be aware of the opportunities that arise.

Enjoy the journey!
