Daily Devo | The Gift of Availability (New Testament in a Year, Matthew 9:18-38)

Jesus makes himself available to all kinds of people, both the privileged and the outcast. He embraces all kinds of interruptions, looking for the opportunity to bring people closer to God. He even encourages us to have the same kingdom focus -- to pray that God would raise up more workers to connect people back to God. Who knows? God might even invite us to become a part of the answer to that prayer!

For Reflection:

- What needs do you see around you today (in the world, in your neighborhood, at your work/school, in your life)?

- Interruptions played an outsized role in the ministry of Jesus. How does that fact speak into your life? Are you available for interruptions? When is an interruption an opportunity, and when is it a distraction?

- How might God be calling you to serve or pray more intentionally?

- Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to the needs around me. Use me as part of your harvest.
