Reading: 2 Kings 22, 2 Chronicles 34, and Acts 14
Scripture: Acts 14:7, and there they continued to preach the gospel.
Thoughts: Paul and Barnabas were teaching and there were leaders, both Jew and Gentile who stirred up the people against them. After leaving due to the threat of stoning this passage says, “and there they continued to preach the gospel.” In the United States, we are insulated from much of the persecution and threat of death because of what we believe. How far are we willing to go when faced with death? My pastor used the example of going downtown and preaching the gospel if aliens and most people will not blink an eye at it. But the moment you preach the gospel of Christ you will get hate. Let us make up our minds now to continue to preach the gospel of Christ no matter what they due to us.
Prayer: Lord God, you are worthy of all praise and worthy of all my life. I commit that I will stand for you no matter what. You give and you take away. All I have is yours, my family, my things, my finances all belong to you. I ask that you give me wisdom to steward them well, to lead them well. Help me to be your light.
