What do McDonald's, a collision shop, and an insurance office have in common?

I love how God uses something small to accomplish something big.  In this case, He began with 1 person and 1 event and kept adding different chapters to the story as people entered the room.  One girl shared about eating at McDonald’s and suddenly realizing, lo and behold, the Lord opening a door for her to mention His name with one of the employees.  All of us listeners were happy to hear, and I tossed in the story of the Lord prompting me to pray for the collision shop employees repairing my car and the thrill of talking about prayer with one of the shop supervisors.  All the while, smiles are growing and encouragement's blossoming throughout our classroom.  Another girl happily testifies to the Lord giving opportunity to mention His name at her insurance agent’s office.  None of these being intrusive occasions, but rather just perfect pauses into which the Lord compels our participation.  A fourth story giddily adds into testimony, and the whole aura of the room becomes wide-eyed and flourishing with excitement.  All gathering momentum from that first small mention of the Lord's name.  People gain confidence in recognizing the Lord at work in the ordinary day.  To tell about Him is vital because not every household speaks His name.  His name means hope, and we are people in need of that hope.  You may tell a story about the Lord that is perfect encouragement for someone's trouble.  Second Timothy 1:8 says, “So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord . . .”  Don't fall into thinking that a story of God could ever be insignificant.  If God’s in it, it’s big, and it can inspire.
