TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 12TH MAY 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah 12th May 2025 Daily Devotional Monday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Fingers in the Dust
The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message. Acts 16:14, NIV
RECOMMENDED READING
Acts 16:11-15
Leading someone to Jesus is the most wonderful thing in the world, but we do less than one-half of one percent of the work. Others have almost certainly come before us, planting the seed. That’s the other one-half percent. Ninety-nine percent belongs to the Lord, who opens the heart of the one who responds.
Obviously, of course, He does the whole work; though, thankfully, He uses us along the way. As Paul said, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6).
As we share God’s Word with others, we need to remember that God is the One who will work in their hearts. Our responsibility is to make sure that we are actively sharing. We want to present the Gospel as best we can, but it doesn’t depend on our knowledge or powers of persuasion. People can find Christ from as little as a verse written by a truck driver’s finger on the dust of his or her eighteen-wheeler if that’s the means God chooses to use.
Simply say a word to someone today on behalf of our Lord!

[Lydia] did not open her own heart…. Paul did not do it. the Lord Himself must open the heart…. We can get at human brains, but God alone can arouse human affections.
