Prayer walking is a part of our ministry. Each week all go to La Iglesia and split up into groups of 3 or 4. One translator in each group. This week my group consisted of me, Sherri and Brant Fountain, our leader. Brant talked to the men we came across while walking and Sherri and I talked to the women we came across while Brant translated for us. While we were walking we stopped and talked to whoever was on the street and asked this question, “If God could do a miracle in your life, what would it be?” The first woman we talked to said, “to change me”. As in, if God could do a miracle in her life, it would be to change her. She said that she was a bad person. Then she said to change El Salvador. Two incredibly honest responses that most people are afraid to admit. Nobody thinks they are “bad” and no one wants to openly admit how terrible their country is, mostly due to pride. So we prayed with her. After this we continued walking, and we came across a guy that was working on a house. We asked him the same question and he said, “live to 70, because this life is all that matters.” Brant simply replied, “That’s not what the bible says” and he invited him to english classes.
I wonder how many people in the world think like this? How many people toil through this life thinking that it will actually matter in the perspective of eternity?
“What profit has a man from all his labor
In which he toils under the sun?
All things are full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.” ~Ecclesiastes 1:3, 8
“Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.” ~Proverbs 27:20
Life outside of Christ is so pointless. We can spend our whole lives building ourselves and our kingdoms up, but we will never be satisfied. Our lives are nothing but a blip on the heartbeat of eternity. We are only dust, and our lives are like vapor. I don’t want to live my short time on Earth building something that will vanish, I want to help build something that will last. He is the ONLY One that is everlasting and the only One worth living for.
Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this...
