R³ Devotional - Day 346

R³ Devotional - Day 346 - Acts 20-23

By: Anderson Baptist Church

In Acts 20, Paul says goodbye to the Ephesian elders, he reminds them of his service with humility, tears, and trials, holding nothing back from them.  He declared, “I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me.”

In Acts 21, Paul goes off to Jerusalem and believers continue to warn him of dangers ahead…but Paul being Paul, he just marches on, bound in the spirit, driven with purpose!  What happens when he gets there?  He is seized by the crowd.  Oh Paul.

In Acts 22, Paul gives his testimony.  I don’t know about you, but for me giving a testimony is a nerve-wracking thing!  You don’t know how it will be received, if your audience will take it well, if it will trigger something in another person…all the questions rush thru your head.  It is important to follow Paul’s example though when giving your testimony & to keep the focus on God and what He has done in your life, rather than on yourself.  

Real Life Principles:  
Do we serve with humility?  Do we hold anything back because we are afraid or uncomfortable? Do we strive to finish the task God has given us, or do we relax on it because it is hard or too time consuming or demanding?  

Relevant Life Applications:  
Sometimes God doesn’t remove the difficulty, instead, He prepares us to walk through it!  Your testimony may not be widely accepted, and that is ok, it is still powerful!  

Being Ready with Life Action Steps:  
Serve with humility, don’t hold back in God’s calling on your life, finish the task God has given you and give it your all!  

Prayer:
Lord make me faithful in service, steadfast in obedience, courageous in witness, and peaceful in your presence!  Amen
