A Productive Out
Psa.126:5-6
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
In the game of baseball, a student of the game will say if batter makes an out, it needs to be at least a "productive out". Meaning move the lead runner to the next base or if no one is on base make the pitcher throw ten or more pitches to you. And there maybe other situations in a given spot but even though the batter may make an out, al least it could be productive. It reminds me of witnessing to a lost friend or family member.
We always want to lead someone to Christ, but sometimes we don't always win them all. But in our attempt maybe we are moving them closer to accepting Him or least we are planting a seed thought that will grow into salvation with the help and work of the Holy Spirit. The Christian worker may feel like he did not accomplish much, but with God, our work can be very productive. And when that person gets saved, we will be glad that we had a little part in it.
God Bless you neighbor, live and work for Him, you'll be glad that you did.
Rev. Daniel Samples
