Acts 17:22-23

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship; him declare I unto you.

I love this scripture. How bold Paul is to stand and declare God. May I say, I am not as bold as Paul. But we must take a stand and declare God to this unbelieving world. To not declare God, is to not do as God commanded us. In Matthew 28: 19-20, Jesus commands us to go and teach all nations!

He didn’t promise us it would be easy. I have several family members that are in need of salvation. I’m sure some of you know loved ones that need salvation also. We must be bold like Paul and declare God unto them.

I Peter 5:6-8

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour

Today’s devotional is given a little later than usual. To be honest, I have struggled with reading Acts. There are some things going on in my personal life that caused me to reflect on different scripture today.

We should humble ourselves before an almighty God. He does care for us even when it feels like our ship is going down. We can always go to Him for all our needs. Satan is looking for ways to trip us up on our daily walks.

If you have a heavy heart today, please know that God is there, and He is with you. You aren’t alone! And, the best part, He is in control. It may not seem like it, and there may be things happening you don’t understand. God does understand, and all you need to do is 1. Humble yourself 2. Cast that care on him. 3. Be sober (we should be serious about God and our walk with Him) 4. Be vigilant (we shouldn’t be sleeping on God. We should be awake and alert.)
