Day 18 - Magnet for God
Day 18 - Magnet for God
7 September 2022
Sandy Hogg: National Prayer Focus ‘Salvos Field Guide’ Day 18.
Day 18 – National Prayer Focus 2022
What kind of magnet are you? Are you a magnet that draws people to Jesus, or one that does the opposite?
In 2 Corinthians 5:20, Paul is imploring the reader, on Christ’s behalf, to be reconciled to God. The idea of being reconciled to God reminds me of being drawn to God like a magnet. What better way to be Jesus-centred than to stick to him like a magnet?
How do we do that? By seeking him and his ways in our day-to-day lives, by learning from him through his word and his people, and by talking to him often in dedicated prayer times and in moment-by-moment prayers throughout the day.
The closer we draw to Jesus, the more he fills us with his grace and love which flows through us and draws others to him. We become magnets for Jesus.
I don’t know about you, but that’s the kind of magnet I want to be.
Reflection Questions
• Who do you know that you would describe as a magnet for Jesus? How do they attract people to Jesus?
• What is it about Jesus that draws you to him?
