Take Courage and Testify

Scripture: Acts 23:11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

Observation: I know my purpose is to spread the gospel, to testify of the gospel of my Lord, Jesus. I don’t fulfill my purpose most of the time because I am afraid of what people will think and embarrassment. How can I think of what people think above what God will think?

Application: I need to take courage, the courage that comes from the Holy Spirit, who is always with me. I have one purpose to spread the gospel and God has given me so many avenues to do and gifts and talents to accomplish this task. By faith I need to fulfill what God as already put on my heart to do.

Prayer: My Lord give me the strength and courage to honor you each day. To tell others of your unfailing love. May none perish that I know because I was faithful in spreading your word.
