Sadie Robertson Shares Moving Encounter with Atheist Homeless Man
One day, Sadie was set to give an inspirational speech about her faith journey to a group of students. However, on her way to the event, she saw a homeless man on the street.
She was late, so when she felt God telling her to reach out to the man, she tried to shake it off. “We were just a mile away from where we needed to be and stuck in a little traffic . . . I felt the Lord say in my Spirit, “go put my word in His reach and then you will understand how I feel.”
So Sadie asked her driver to turn around. Sadie decided to gift the man the Bible she had with her.
Sadie was very surprised when the man turned down her gift, explaining that he was an atheist.
Now Sadie was even more desperate for this man to have a Bible. She knew how it had changed her own life, and she wanted the same promise of eternal life for this stranger! So she decided to leave the Bible on the ground next to the man and just walk away.
But the homeless man became upset. Not because she was not accepting his denial, but because he didn’t want the Bible to be ‘wasted’ on him when someone else may actually use it. Sadie was struck by the knowledge that even this atheist recognized the power of God’s Word!
And she became emotional relaying how she recognized that this must be how God feels. When He offers redemption, but people don’t accept it. When He offers His hand and the promise of everlasting life if we just take it, but often we do not, and we set out on our own paths.
Watch Sadie’s emotional telling of this chance encounter, and be blessed by the message that this young woman of God was compelled to share!

Today's Devotional
A Prayer for Victory over Sinful Thoughts - Your Daily Prayer - July 26
Victory over sinful thoughts starts with dependence upon God to stay free from enslaving sin. It’s a life lived with a surrendered mouth and heart before God. Winning requires us to remember our Rock, who rescues us and gives us a firm standing place, and our Redeemer, who rescues us from total loss.
