Reading: Isaiah 50-51, Psalm 58, and Acts 5
Scripture: Acts 5:41, Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name.
Thoughts: I know that it is easy to thrive when things are good and everyone likes you. In this social media world we live in, it is easy to spiral into depression even when we don’t invite attention by being counterculture. We are called to spread the Gospel and it is at its core offensive. The Gospel tells us we are deprived and that the only way is through God’s gift. Are we willing to rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer dishonor for His name?
Prayer: Father God you are worthy of all praise. I thank you that I have the opportunity to be your light. I ask that you help me to get over my fears and inadequacies that I can shine brightly for you and point the world to the one who saves.
