God’s word changes lives and transforms people. As you read through it, every page is full of the wisdom of God, which is the opposite of man’s advice. The world will try to convince you that somehow based on trying harder, you can somehow help yourself.
The Bible, however, directs us to our heavenly Father as our source–the only One we need to rely on. It’s not about ourselves. Instead, it’s the exact opposite. We need to die to self and completely depend on God.
When that happens, we will begin to grow in new ways. We will begin to experience a deeper walk with God. Being timid and lacking zeal will be replaced with a fresh, new boldness. The power of the Holy Spirit will enable you to proclaim this amazing news without apologies.
When you begin to allow the Lord to guide you, great things happen!
You will see change in your own life and then you can’t help but share that with others. And so that’s why it’s called the good news! It’s good news because it changed you. It’s even better news because it can also change others.
The Gospel is something that you want to spread to everyone you know in every way you can. We need to share it with our friends, neighbors, coworkers, acquaintances–even strangers! We need to pray and ask that the Holy Spirit will lead us to people who are searching for the truth. When we are intentional about witnessing, God opens doors so we can step out in boldness.
May the Lord prepare you and me and lead us to those divine moments in our day where we boldly step out and speak up for Christ. Sharing the plan of salvation through Jesus is the most important thing on our to-do list everyday! Let’s make it a priority!
Gracious Father: Give us Your eyes and heart to declare that You are Lord. Prepare hard hearts to be open to receive your love and word. Teach us how to be sensitive to your leading as You speak to us throughout the day. Let us speak out Your words with all our confidence placed in the power of Jesus’ name. Amen
