pray we'd be loving & courageous in snatching the lost from God's fiery wrath!!

Jude 23

"Snatch others from the fire and save them"

How human it is for us to be concerned primarily with our own salvation. Our own welfare is a natural concern. But it is wrong to stop there. We must be concerned for the spiritual safety and security of others also. Remember God's challenge to Ezekiel: "If you warn them and they do not listen, that is their responsibility. If you do not warn them and they perish, I will hold you responsible" (Ezekiel 33:8-9, paraphrase). That is a great challenge to us as we think of those who still have not heard the gospel!

Our Father, we want to be faithful to share Christ with the unreached peoples. But all too often we are afraid of rejection and scorn. Give us the same courage You gave to Ezekiel to warn others of the judgment awaiting those who reject Your grace.
