You are Worthy

Reading: Isaiah 48-49 and Acts 4

Scripture: Acts 4:29 ESV, And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,

Thoughts: Here in the United States, we have been insulated from most of the persecution and hate towards Christ and His Church. We have the freedom to speak without fear of prosecution by the government. Yet here in the last few months, there has been a tremendous increase in attempts and attacks on people of faith. There is a war coming, Peter and John after having all the threats and things happen to them they turned around and asked God for more boldness to continue to share the gospel. We get a negative comment about a post, and we shrink away from the fight. Be bold and seek more boldness so that the world will know who God is and what His Son did on the cross.

Prayer: Father God, you are worthy to have your name problems from the rooftops and the street corners. You give us the strength and ability to do so. I ask that you help me overcome my own fears and inadequacies in proclaiming your glory. Help me to be the light you have called me to be. To you be all the glory and honor.
