An overly cautious driver hesitated as he attempted to merge with traffic on a busy freeway, finally coming to a complete stop on the ramp. The traffic thinned out a bit, but the driver still waited, hoping for a better opportunity to make his way onto the highway. The driver in the car behind him finally let his frustration be known, shouting furiously, “The sign says to yield, not give up!”

Sometimes we are hesitant to witness about our faith in Jesus Christ. We don’t recognize opportunities to share our faith as they materialize. We think that perhaps the situation will get better if we wait a while longer. Then maybe the conditions will be more suitable for evangelism to take place.

If we wait too long, we might lose the opportunity to witness altogether.

“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.”—Colossians 4:5.
