Individuals
It was only a small group of ladies that appeared one night to hear missionary Robert Moffat speak on the verse, “Unto you, O men, I call” (Proverbs 8:4). Disheartened, he gave his address, failing to notice a small lad who was operating the bellows of the organ. Before Moffat’s message was over, God called the boy to missionary service. His name was David Livingstone, and he faithfully served the Lord for many years in Africa.
Another similar account happened many years ago, not too far from where I live. James Buchanan Dunlop was to preach in the schoolhouse just outside of Perth, about twelve miles from my hometown of Smiths Falls. It was a stormy, snowy night and the walking was hard, but he felt the Lord telling him he must go. With him was one man by the name of Thomas Dodds, who went along to tend the fire. With the fire burning for warmth, Dunlop preached to the only person who showed up, and Thomas Dodds was brightly saved.
These accounts show how the Lord is interested, and goes out of His way, for individuals. I trust you have had this one-on-one experience. If not, the Lord is seeking you today!
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found” (Isaiah 55:6).
