Wednesday WOW is written to remind us, especially pastors, that our transcendent, omnipotent, loving, sovereign God is working today in our lives in thousands of ways. The WOW is God, not the size of the work! How have you seen Him at work in your life today?
Discipleship is hard and sometimes messy, but oh, the joys of watching believers grow and change in Christ!
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment (1 Peter 2:2 NLT). Recently I saw this passage fulfilled as I met with the man I have the privilege of discipling. There he sat across from me in my living room, coffee cup in hand, often scooting to the edge of his seat waiting for an answer to a life question or to share a blessing. At other times, he would recline intently listening to biblical instruction, soaking it all in! Wow!!
“Where can I find that in the Bible? I’m not able to always come up with a verse!”
“Am I thinking right on that?”
“How should I respond to that attitude?”
“I’m a free man now that I understand my position in Christ and 1 John 1:9!” Wow!!
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20). Obedience to the Great Commission is joining God in His work. As I said previously, there are some woes, but there are many more WOWS . . . all for the glory of God and the growth of His children!!
Who are you discipling? What’s your WOW for God’s glory?
