Speak Up

Scripture Judges 19:30 And so it was that all who saw it said, “No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day. Consider it, confer, and speak up!”

Observation: Each day brings a new perversion whether sexual immorality, abuse, murder or some strange idolatry, yet we as Christians seldom speak up. We are supposed to be the majority, but we act as the silent minority. We allow the sins of this world to go on without any conflict making the excuse there is nothing we can do. Homosexuality has become normal in our society and people are afraid to speak out and when that special someone does they are the one that gets ridiculed and called intolerant. We need to speak out when we see the sin in this world and help those that are lost.

Application: I need to speak out when I see what hurts my Lord. I’ve not been any better than anyone else, I have sat by and prayed that Jesus would come and end this mess we have made of this world. God has called me to a purpose to make a difference, to be a light in this world. It doesn’t matter if people listen to me, it only matters that I honor God with the life He has given me. God will handle the hearts of those I come across, it is my duty to share the good news.

Prayer: My Lord you gave me a voice and mind. May they be used for your glory and that you would use your servant as a tool to make a difference in this lost world. Give me wisdom, discernment, courage and strength to do what you have called me to do and that I will please you. For I’m only here to serve and I’m honored to do so.
