Scripture: Acts 5: [42] Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ. <\/p>\n
Observation: It is on a rare occasion that I take an opportunity to proclaim Jesus to anyone, let alone each day. On those rare occasions I feel as if I have done God a favor instead of doing what I was created to do. I\u2019m commanded to spread the gospel throughout the world, to be like Jesus and to do the Father\u2019s will. I never did what I was told as a child and haven\u2019t come much further.<\/p>\n
Application: Spreading the gospel is my full time job everything else should take a back seat, instead of doing when I feel comfortable doing it. I need to take chances and speak up and to live a life that is worthy of my Lord. I\u2019m here for only a short while longer and have done so little, I need to step up my commitment to my Lord and be obedient in this life so I\u2019m welcomed into my eternal home.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear Lord your servant is lazy and selfish. Help me do what you created me to do. Give me the boldness I will need to stand and speak to others about your love and salvation. Take this laziness from your servant and give me strength to do your will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
