Keep on Speaking

Scripture: Acts 18:9 One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.

Observation: God calls me to keep telling others the gospel and the love of our Lord. He tells me not to be silent but to persevere in spreading the good news so others don’t perish. I’m not to be afraid because he is with me and there is nothing that man can do. My courage comes from Christ and the empowering of the Holy Spirit.

Application: Look for opportunities to share the gospel with others knowing that I’m honoring God every time I speak his name. My purpose is to go out and make disciples, as it is for everyone that calls themselves a Christian. The word says that God is with me and the Holy Spirit will put the words in my mouth so why should I be afraid?

Prayer: Dear God give me the strength, courage and wisdom to speak in your name. May the love I have for You be seen by others.
