Every now and then, God chooses to speak to us through some apparently random event. It can be the tiniest thing, yet His voice booms out in the most powerful and profound way. That very thing happened to me just recently.
I had a layover in Tokyo on the way home from a long trip, so I caught a taxi to my hotel. Fine, except I’d given the driver the wrong details, so when I arrived there was no reservation in my name. But the gracious hotel staff figured it out, asked me to take a seat and called me another cab to take me to the right hotel this time.
When the taxi arrived, a young man took me down in the elevator, told the driver where to take me (I don’t speak a word of Japanese) and loaded my bags into the back of the cab. But here’s the thing: as we drove out, that young man stood on the pavement and bowed down so low that it brought tears to my eyes.
I wasn’t even a paying customer. He would never see me again. I was totally inconsequential to him, yet he honoured me in this way. And in that instant, I asked myself … is that the picture of my life, or not? Is that what God sees when He looks at me … or not?
Philippians 2:10,11 God did this so that every person will bow down to honour the name of Jesus. Everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will bow. They will all confess, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and this will bring glory to God the Father.
The life that’s truly bowed down before Jesus is the life that proclaims that He is Lord.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
